It looks that way. When I posted that message saying it didn't, I was basing it
on this, from man qmail-inject: "The default envelope sender address is the
same as the default From address, but it can be overridden with QMAILSUSER and
QMAILSHOST." I erroneously thought that "default" From address was one with
defaulthost in the host part of the address, not the with the host that someone
may have overridden with MAILHOST. So it appears that MAILHOST will set the
host name in the From header, and that that host will be used in the envelope
sender unless it's overridden by QMAILSHOST.

How does Emacs inject mail?
