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...
