That's quite ugly as the author of fetchmail agrees. It really should
be stripping out the "From " before sending to the SMTP port. In fact,
I'm surprised that it doesn't. If after scouring the docs, you can't
find a way to turn it off, I'd drop a note to the fetchmail list about
it (fetchmail-friends@???).
