Msmtp only sets the envelope from-address, not the From: header inside
the mail. The envelope is part of the SMTP protocol, see MAIL FROM
and RCPT TO.

The envelope and the mail headers do not need to match. Setting the
mail headers is the responsibility of the mail user agent. Msmtp will
not alter them.
