I think we can do something simpler: just tell msmtp that it should not add missing Date/From headers. The user then has full control over the mail headers and can put anything in them. No need to even tell msmtp about it, since it should not care. Given the current style of command/options, maybe add_missing_from_header on|off add_missing_date_header on|off (and for consistency maybe remove_bcc_header on|off to replace the keepbcc command, but of course with backwards compatibility). > [I don't like the phrase 'sendmail [interface] compliant'.

Sendmail was first and set the "standard" for everyone else, with all its quirks and weaknesses. Even if somebody would write a specification or RFC now, nobody would care, because all programs must continue to work unchanged, so you have to be sendmail-compatible no matter what some spec says.
