Sorry, I don't have any bright ideas. Searching through the code, I
found this:

	function sendMail( $subject, $body, $from = null ) {
		if( is_null( $from ) ) {
			global $wgPasswordSender;
			$from = $wgPasswordSender;
		}

It uses $wgPasswordSender if $from is null. I don't see sendMail getting
called with a 'from' address. Maybe I missed it somewhere. I also found

$wgPasswordSender     = 'MediaWiki Mail <apache@' . $wgServerName . '>';

in includes/DefaultSettings.php.

Do you set $wgPasswordSender after you include DefaultSettings.php in
LocalSettings.php?

Thanks,
Tom
