It doesn't matter. KMail will always use the proper envelope, regardless if
you're using /usr/sbin/sendmail or connecting directly to port 25 on some
smtp server. What you put in "From:" will only affect the data segment. I
think that's true for most linux/unix mailers.

When I sent the Donald Duck mail I was using KMail connecting directly to
port 25
