Made from_strip case-insesitive

[puggan]

if the from-header looks like
"FROM: [email protected]"
the return-path becomes
"Return-path: <"FROM:user"@domain.net>"

while
"From: [email protected]"
and
"FROM: [email protected]"
makes
"Return-path: [email protected]"

Is this available on all platforms? If not does it need a configure check?

[puggan]

Sorry for not saying somthing about the config file,
i guess its the "FromLineOverride=YES"

the other 2 options dosn't look relevant

cat /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf | grep -v -P "^(#|$)"
root=postmaster
mailhub=faceways.se
FromLineOverride=YES

[puggan]

In gentoo, with the config file above, if i run:
echo -e "FROM: [email protected]\nTO: [email protected]\nSUBJECT: Test ssmtp\n\ntest ssmtp" | sendmail -t

the mail header end up as "Return-Path: <"FROM:puggan"@faceways.se>"

I see no reason for other platforms to have other results

Observed the same behavior on an Debian 7.11 (wheezy) with ssmtp version: 2.64-7.
In function of the "From:" format put in the header used with the PHP mail() function we get the following answers from other mail servers:

status=bounced (host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[…] said: 553-5.1.2 The sender address FROM:[email protected] is not a valid RFC-5321 553 5.1.2 address. gsmtp (in reply to MAIL FROM command))

Here are several header combination that I tested:

<?php
     $to      = '[email protected]';
     $subject = 'The Subject';
     $message = 'Content';
//    $headers  = "From: <[email protected]>\r\n";                  // Works
//    $headers  = "From: \"[email protected]\"\r\n";                // Works
//    $headers  = "FROM: <[email protected]>\r\n";                  // Works
//    $headers  = "From: [email protected]\r\n";                    // Works
//    $headers  = "FROM: [email protected]\r\n";                    // Fails
    $headers  = "FROM:[email protected]\r\n";                       // Fails
     $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
     $headers .= "Content-type: text/txt; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
     mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
 ?>

Please note that, according the the RFC 5322 section 3.6.2 FROM: [email protected] don't really follow the recommendation, nevertheless it is not incorrect neither (still following the same RFC section 1.2.2).
