Actually, it was the other way around. Connecting to smtp.gmail.com
does allow the "From:" header to be customized. The envelope sender,
i.e. the "From " line at the very beginning of the e-mail, might still
get rewritten, but that's okay since the "From:" header is left alone.
The internal SMTP server, however, which does not require
authentication, unexpectedly rewrites the "From:" header in the middle
of the e-mail header.

Got it set up now in a way that should work. At least it did in my
test. I'll send out v3 of the patch momentarily, and then we'll know
for sure.
