I'd go through all the LG config info for your SMTP software, because that's where the problem LG is, not TB. Is this a problem? You can see my machines FQDN is the header but I wouldn't have thought that was a security breach.

See the P headers of this reply from me and notice that it is from brick the P name of my computer and then my IP. That's what I mean... my machine is called lagothrix and that's appended to the domain name. That's how mail finds it's way to me. What's the problem?
