I'm sending mail from box A to myself, but the message says it's sent from BoxB.

Where is the hostname configured on sendmail/mailx ?

Check for a DM setting in your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.

It doesn't have a sendmail.cf file only Mail.cf and mailx.cf and both don't have any hostname entry.

The server wasn't running sendmail, it was running postfix.
