Not me - but I could suggest a mucky fix to the source, to restore the old
uncoditional MAIL FROM <> functionality, while someone cleverer than me
fixes it properly...
src/verify.c:415 in 4.31 says:
smtp_write_command(&outblock, FALSE, "MAIL FROM:<%s>\r\n",
is_recipient? sender_address : US"") >= 0 &&
And the equivalent line from 4.24 says:
smtp_write_command(&outblock, FALSE, "MAIL FROM:<>\r\n") >= 0 &&
Entirely at your own risk, you could make it stop doing the 'is_recipient'
test, which is how it substitutes the sender address.
