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?

Jarry
