My guess is that our sendmail configuration has a envelope-from that is
not being changed by our software, hard-configured to root@FQDN.  Which
ends up translating to root@bobcat1.etc.

The nick.brunton address is being written into the 'From:' header which
MTAs (mail transfer agents, like sendmail or M$ Exchange) don't even
look at. Technically it's part of the email itself. But it is almost
certainly what is displayed by an MUA (email client, like Outlook) as
who sent the email.

The envelope-address shouldn't matter too much, is it just a curiosity
of the customer or is it causing a problem?

Cheers,

a
