[msmtp-users] No FROM Envelope address



Hello.  All the emails I send out using msmtp have a blank FROM
Envelope address.  Yes, I have auto_from configured in the global
configuration file.

An email sent out using this config file (/usr/local/etc/msmtprc):

account default
host myhose.mydomain.com
user username
password userpassword
auto_from on
maildomain mydomain.com
auth login

results in an email with the following headers (note: it appears
as being from 'unknown sending' in every single email client I have
used except for when viewed from linuxmail.org)


Return-Path: <bob@...38...>
Received: from mail.mydomain.com (mail.mydomain.com [123.123.123.123])
         by mx.gmail.com with ESMTP id k62si694351pyk.2006.03.07.08.26.54;
         Tue, 07 Mar 2006 08:26:54 -0800 (PST)
Received-SPF: pass (gmail.com: best guess record for domain of 
bob@...38... designates 66.151.173.105 as permitted sender)

MailEnable ESMTP; Tue, 07 Mar 2006 09:27:48 -0700


bob@...38... is a placeholder I have replaced for my real info.

How can I fix this?  I've read the docs, but there doesn't seem to be 
any way of correcting this.
Explicitly usig the 'From' header doesn't work either, as it only 
alters the 'Return-path' and not
the Envelope header.  Any ideas?  Does this have something to do with 
the SMTP server instead?

Any comments/hints/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
