1. The correct syntax is
MAIL From:<john.doe@...ver.com>
See RFC 5321 et.al: no spaces, and <> around the address.
2. That's the envelope sender, not "the from header"
You can probably use
From: john.doe@...ver.com
in the header even without authentication (I haven't tried it; I
do not have postfix installed).
