Public bug reported:

When using ssmtp with the "sendmail -t" command to override the from address, 
it uses
  MAIL FROM:<from: [email protected]>
instead of
  MAIL FROM: <[email protected]>

Postfix will actually accept this bogus email address, but gmail will
not.

Here is the debugging output of the command showing the invalid MAIL
FROM.

$ sendmail -t -d9
from: [email protected]
to: [email protected]
subject: test has-dev

[<-] 220 mouthwateringmedia.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
[->] EHLO has-dev.mouthwateringmedia.com
[<-] 250 DSN
[->] STARTTLS
[<-] 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS
[->] HELO has-dev.mouthwateringmedia.com
[<-] 250 mouthwateringmedia.com
[->] MAIL FROM:<from: [email protected]>


Here is my /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf.
