changes the From: header correctly, but doesn't give the right "MAIL
FROM:" in the smtp communication.
Try downloading the source, changing the line in ssmtp.c
smtp_write(sock, "MAIL FROM:<%s>", uad);
to
smtp_write(sock, "MAIL FROM:<%s>", from);
and see if that does the trick.
Note that this isn't really a Cygwin issue, you should probably submit
further questions upstream at
http://packages.debian.org/testing/mail/ssmtp
Someday I'll try to update the Cygwin package, by the way; but I've been
very busy, so if anyone else is keen to maintain ssmtp, they are welcome
to it.
