This information is taken from in the kernel address space.

This information is taken from the process address space. While
parsing "-o name=value", smtpd will split the "name=value" by
overwriting the "=" with a null byte (which is used as string
terminator). Therefore, the output above only shows "-o name".
Why one command takes the information from the kernel, and the
other from the process, is a question that your vendor can answer.
