tag 500860 + confirmed patch thanks Hi Brian,
Sorry for the delay. I confirm this bug. The sender envelope should definitely not be set from an external source. I propose the following patch, which unconditionally uses DEFAULT_FROM for the sender address, and will include it in the next release of rss2email (after wheezy is released). Thanks for this bug report ! -- Etienne Millon

Otherwise the feed author would receive error messages in case of delivery problems.
