DESCRIPTION

16       libcurl.

18       An  originator  email  address should be specified with angled brackets
19       (<>) around it, which if not specified will be added automatically.

21       If this parameter is not specified then an empty address will  be  sent
22       to the mail server which may cause the email to be rejected.
