SMTP return address Linux version versus Windows version

I am running a number of Domino ver 5.10 servers, some on W2K and some on RedHat 7.3. When an email is sent externally from a W2K server, if you look at the SMTP file it has a MAIL FROM: and a FROM: field, both of which correctly display the users internet return address. When sent from the Linux server, the same message has a MAIL FROM:, a SENDER: and a FROM: field. The first two are correct, but the third one reverts to the default format of FIRT_LAST/ORG/DOMAIN@SERVER.DOM . Unfortunately a number of email systems use the FROM: field rather than either of the others to reply to, and usually fail because of the underscore, as well as it looking very clumsy. Is there firstly a way to fix the Linux SMTP, or secondly is it possible to use a W2k SMTP to send the messages for Linux users? (Simple relay isn't enough - the W2K machine just relays the message as the Linux SMTP formatted it).

Thanks
