Hi, I have a strange problem: whenever my web-server sends registration emails, the sender field gets overwritten.
"From:" should be: My Web Site <info@mywebsite> But email is delivered to the addressee from: added by portage for apache <apache@mywebsite> Logs on my web-server indicate the mail was handed over to the local MTA with the correct "From:" field. Logs on my mail-server (which is a different machine) show it has already received this mail for delivery with changed "From" field. In between is ssmtp, running on the same machine as web. I'm not quite sure, because I did not find any ssmtp-logs, but I suppose ssmtp is changing "From", simply to the user under which the process is running is substituted into "From" field. My /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf (without comments) is quite simple: root=postmaster mailhub=mymailserver How can I instruct ssmtp not to change "From:" fields in emails?
