After much frustration, I deleted every .cf file in /etc/mail, and
edited every .mc file to include the line:
Define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `howse.no-ip.org')
Then ran:
# make cf
# make install

That still didn't work.

I remembered that I use a Dynamic DNS service called noip.com to resolve
my dynamic ip to 'howse.no-ip.org' on my Linux box, so I changed my
hostname from 'larry' to 'larry.howse.no-ip.org'.
That fixed it!

Now, when I get mail from FBSD, it comes from root@howse.no-ip.org.
Hoooray!
