Because nobody contributed better documentation.

I guess you meant `user-mail-address'. When using Gnus, you should
refer to it's documentation as well. The Message manual (Gnus' mail
mode) includes:
,----[ (info "(message)Mail Variables") ]
| `message-sendmail-envelope-from'
| When `message-sendmail-f-is-evil' is `nil', this specifies the
| address to use in the SMTP envelope. If it is `nil', use
| `user-mail-address'. If it is the symbol `header', use the `From'
| header of the message.
`----
You can find this via index search `i From RET , , , ,' (`i' =
`Info-index', `,' = `Info-index-next').
But I agree that it would be useful if the smtpmail documentation
would also include something about the envelope From because it seem
to be a frequent problem.
Bye, Reiner.

If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact,
Mailman will discard the held message. Do this if the message is
spam. If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header
with the list password in it, the message will be approved for posting
to the list. The Approved: header can also appear in the first line
of the body of the reply.
