Should it be mailfrom or MailFrom? either way it didn't appear to
influence anything.

I did fix it so that `hostname` now returns host.domain.ca. this
didn't help either.

I turned on debugging for ssmtp:

Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: Set Root="postmaster"
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: Set MailHub="mail.domain.ca"
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: Set RemotePort="25"
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: Set RewriteDomain="domain.ca"
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: Set HostName="hostname.nscc.ca"
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: Set FromLineOverride="True"
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: Set MailHub="mail.domain.ca"
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: via SMTP Port Number="25"
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: 220 mail.domain.ca ESMTP
(blahblahblahblah)
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: HELO hostname.domain.ca
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: 250 mail.domain.ca Hello
hostname.domain.ca [1.2.3.4], pleased to meet you
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: MAIL FROM:<bro at hostname>
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: 504 Need Fully Qualified Address
Dec  4 14:01:21 hostname sSMTP[75788]: 504 Need Fully Qualified Address

Just doing: `mail me at domain.ca` from the command line works.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
