Sorry, not all authenticated SMTP clients are MUAs, and not all MUAs use
just a single mail address for a given username/password combination.

Disregarding the client's envelope sender address, and coercing a fixed
sender address based on the login name is simply wrong.

If the client supplies a sender address that you do not allow it to use,
you MUST refuse the transaction. Silently changing the sender address
is not acceptable.
