Casper,

Sorry, was on mobile - my reply was to "I can confirm that installing
postfix and hardcode the reciving mailbox in config.php works. But it
doesn't use the contacts im making in the observium gui which seems to
be the same issue Cameron has."On 27/08/2015 09:38, Casper Allerslev

As to the from value, this is unrelated to what you see in the postfix
log (it's showing the envelope sender, which is indeed
root@yourhostname, not the From header that is inside the e-mail).
