well, I do not know how acceptable this solution is, but 
in the catalog.cfg file, i change the SendMailProgram line to read:

SendMailProgram /usr/lib/sendmail -forders@mydomain.com

so that any outgoing mail by minivend apperes to come from orders@mydomain.com.
To make it work though you also need to add the minivend user as a trusted 
user to sendmail. I run minivend under user minivend (wow!) so i
added "Tminivend" to my /etc/sendmail.cf

this seemed a little easier then figureing out the send_mail black
magic :)

of course, YMMV.
take care
