Re: [gentoo-user] ssmtp rewriting "From:" in emails...

[Jarry]

While before "From" field in messages sent my web-server was:
	added by portage for apache <apache@×××××××××××××××××.com>
(where "myserver.mydomain.com" is FQDN of my web-server)

After this modification I get mails from:
	added by portage for apache <apache@××××××××.com>

But it should come from:
	Info <info@×××××××××××.com>

So it is still not what I expect. I simply want ssmtp not to touch
or change "from" field, and let it to be as it is defined by MUA
(in this case it is php(mail) function of my web-server)...
