I had the same problem when I switched from Netscape to Mutt/sSMTP.
This problem broke my procmail Bcc recipe that filed my outgoing emails
into an IMAP copy folder.
After much head banging at about 2 AM one morning, I fixed this problem
by recompiling ssmtp.c after changing:
int FromLineOverride = NO;
to:
int FromLineOverride = YES;
Subsequently, I found that sstmp.conf should be able to set this option
at runtime by including the following line:
FromLineOverride=YES
Note however that I have never actually verified this fact.
If the generate_config shell script included the above commented
out like it is found in the sample sstmp.conf, it would have saved me
much grief. Sigh...
