Freebsd – sSMTP rewritting From field in emails

freebsdssmtp

My problem is that whenever my server sends emails, the sender field gets overwritten.

From: should be: Web Site Name <admin@mywebsite.com>

But email is delivered to the address from:

World Wide Web Owner <www@mywebsite.com>

Or while sending the emails from the root in the SSH:

Charlie & <root@mywebsite.com>

My /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf configuration file content:

root=postmaster@mywebsite.com
mailhub=ssl0.ovh.net:465

rewriteDomain=mywebsite.com
hostname=mywebsite.com
realname = "Web Site Name"

AuthUser=postmaster%mywebsite.com
AuthPass=removed
UseTLS=YES

How can I instruct ssmtp not to change From: fields in emails? Or just define the From: anywhere?

When I add FromLineOverride=YES into the ssmtp.conf the server doesnt want to send emails anymore (email with set Form field).

Best Answer

FromLineOverride=YES

Should do the trick. Are you sure you are setting the From header correctly inside your mail sending code?
