So I take it you are using the $sendmailVirtualUserTable setting? 
Please include more specifics.

I suspect the correct FROM name comes through only because you've set it 
up as desired in Options->Personal Information.  Otherwise, your login 
username would be used, which is in fact your unix username.  The best 
solution, of course, is not to use unix usernames in a virtual hosting 
environment, but otherwise, without looking closer, you should read ALL 
of the headers of a mail sent from that account.  If your unix username 
isn't anywhere in those headers, then at least the problem is only in 
the interface (which is probably just going to be a limitation of your 
email system's implementation).
