FWIW, MU has no knowledge about google at all.  So, "dhenman" is either your
local user name, or it is set explicitly somewhere in MH configuration
files (see below).

There is no such system call. Here is the full set of rules used to
determine the full sender address. The first of them that returns a
non-empty value is used:

1. The "from" parameter in the mailer URL, e.g.

     url: smtp://example.com;noauth;address@hidden

   See

     http://mailutils.org/wiki/Fetching_Mail_with_Movemail#SMTP_Parameters

   for the full list of smtp parameters.
   
2. The value of the From: header from the message, if any.

3. The username as set in .mtstailor.  The domain part can
   be specified there as well, so that:

   a) $ cat .mtstailor
      username: gray
      
      will produce "gray@<hostname>", where <hostname> is the
      name of my computer as returned by gethostname
      
   b) $ cat .mtstailor
      username: gray
      localdomain: org
      
      will produce "gray@<hostname>.org", where <hostname> is the
      same as above.

      Finally:
      
   c) $ cat .mtstailor
      username: gray
      localname: gnu
      localdomain: org
    
      will produce "address@hidden"
   
4. The username corresponding to the current user ID, as returned
   by getpwuid(getuid()) call.

Sure enough, the server refuses to accept mail from such a sender.  Use
the above rules to supply a correct sender name.
