Hmm strange
I have this and it still uses 3999 as the from user. Note this is a derivative
of the hostname 3999-IBCBuild-CM1.
echo "Backup failed for archive $FN" | mail -r "r...@ipcsolutions.com.au" -s
"WARNING: Backup Failed for archive $FN" monitor...@ipcsolutions.com.au

Just guessing the From is being derived from your hostname, you did not
mention how you were sending the email.
The -r argument for "mail" defines the From address, including a text name
if you wish (like my example).
I always define the From: address.

PS, You can delete the "stuck" email by using
--
msmtpqueue delete /var/spool/mail/2018-09-30-09.29.46-0
