That's not "envelope from", that's the mbox separator (which some say
should have the envelope sender in it, but implementations vary).

The problem is your transport. From spec.txt (line 8593) :

prefix                          Type: string*              Default: see below

    The string specified here is expanded and output at the start of every
    message. The default is

      prefix = "From ${if def:return_path{$return_path}{MAILER-DAEMON}}\
        ${tod_bsdinbox}\n"

    This line can be suppressed by setting

      prefix =

    and this is usually necessary when doing batch SMTP deliveries, or
    delivering into individual files or MBX-format mailboxes.
