I recently implemented acknowledgements via email. Today we notice that the ack is by postmaster. I'm not thrilled by that. Did I set something up wrong? Is there a way to get the actual email address of the ack'er in the acknowledgement?

Not certain, but I think if you do a different alert it will send a
different ack code per email address (fuzzy on the details, it's been
some time since I read that).

HOST=*.com
  MAIL user-d88bf83ec1e3@xymon.invalid
  MAIL user-149272e9d6fd@xymon.invalid

So user1 gets one code and user2 gets another, depending on the ack
code is who ack'ed it.

We are using one MAIL line for all staff (group address) and the mail acks show up with the correct e-mail address in the ack history. So you shouldn't need to have one line for each recipient.
Maybe there is something wrong in the logic that hands the mail over to the mailack command?

We found our problem.  One of our engineers mailbox filled up, and Exchange is sending a non-deliverable message back.

We made a quick edit of the promailrc file and drop those messages, and out of office messages. And while we were at it, we made a file of allowed ackers and made that a rule. Should have done that from the start.
