The hostname shown in syslog output is not under control by Postfix.
The hostname is controlled by syslogd.

You can, however, distinguish output from different Postfix instances
in several ways.

1 - Set the instance name with the syslog_name configuration parameter.
    Default instance name is "postfix".

2 - Set the logging facility with the syslog_facility parameter. The
    default logging facility is "mail".
