Do you have an MTA running on your machine? Or are you using an email
program (i.e. Thunderbird, Outlook Express)?
If the latter, your email is not "coming from your machine". It is
being composed on your machine, but as far as the internet is concerned,
it is coming from whatever MTA you connect to to send your mail. For
instance, I compose mail on my machine - but it's being sent from my
VPS, which does have a domain.
And BTW, "most emails come from machines that have no domain at all...".
Very few machines have 'no domain'. For instance, in my case the
domain is that of my ISP (but that's not the domain the email is sent from).
