This problem started happening in builds from master around 4 days ago:

- start emacs -Q
- M-x mail (or any other form of sending email)
- Set a From: value different from user@localhostname
- Send mail using local sendmail

The mail is sent with a from header seen by postfix (i don't know about
other MTAs) as user@localhost, instead of the From: i set in the
headers.  By user@localhost i mean the unix username running emacs and
the hostname as returned by hostname(1).  It seems emacs is just
ignoring the value of From:, or setting it in a way postfix doesn't
understand.

I know almost for sure it's an emacs problem because emacs 26 or an
earlier version of emacs-snapshot is working without problems.

Thanks!
