You wrote:
"These mails are fired off via perl, using the webserver user.
both are fired off by the same user. these are sent off
automatically by a perl script"

I suspect that the solution will be within your perl script, and not Postfix.

The script not only needs to define the "From:" header in the message body,
as well as any other reply headers, but also needs to specify it's own sender
name for the MAIL FROM protocol (in the envelope address).

For example, depending upon which web server is doing the registration, the
script should effectively pass the mail something like this:

sendmail -f registrations@a.com < file
sendmail -f registrations@b.com < file

or whatever the syntax is for the particular package you to hand off the email.
