In /etc/postfix/main.cf I only have:

myorigin = gmail.com

If I use:
myorigin = syscon8@gmail.com

I get an error message;
Aug 31 14:28:02 i5 postfix/smtp[25841]: 1A31217E00EC: to=<root@syscon8@
gmail.com>, relay=smtp.gmail.com[142.250.99.109]:587, delay=0.54,
delays=0.01/0/0.5/0.03, dsn=5.1.3, status=bounced (host
smtp.gmail.com[142.250.99.109]
said: 553-5.1.3 The recipient address <root@syscon8@gmail.com> is not a
valid RFC 553-5.1.3 5321 address.

my /etc/postfix/sender_canonical
/^root@gmail\.com$/ syscon8@gmail.com
