Description Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-14 09:38:03 UTC
When sending mail with ssmtp-2.60.3 the from adress is either the user@host or what has been set in 
rewriteDomain even if FromLineOverride is set to YES. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

This is most likely an upstream problem... but...

If you remove the rewriteDomain that applies... does the FromLineOverride work properly then?
Comment 2 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-14 13:20:10 UTC
No, that does not work either. I'll fill out a bugreport upstream. 
Comment 3 Nick Hadaway 2003-07-26 03:17:00 UTC
Did you ever get a response from the upstream author?  I have another bug here about ssmtp and ssl which requires upstream attention as well. bug #25071 ;

No, not a word :-/

2.6.0.4 fixes this. Closing.
