That's because 'httpd' owned the process that invoked sendmail ;P
If you want sendmail to report someother local user, you have to
have the cgi owned by that user, or make that user a trusted user so you
are allowed to lie about who yu are.

If you think about it, httpd@localhost *is* the sender, so that's a
perfectly reasonable line...

If you don't want mail logged as going through 'localhost' that's a whole
different can of worms...

To change that, you need to actualy open a session with the smtp interface
