Thanks Sam again.

I found the problem.

I am using vpopmail-5.4.33 + qmail, and I found that vdelivermail.c of
vpopmail contains this line:

	sprintf(maildrop_command, "| preline %s", MAILDROP_PROG);

After I removed "preline ", then the maildrop won't add "From " header
anymore. And I checked preline is the qmail binary which is
"/var/qmail/bin/preline".

Since I tested maildrop prior to version 2.6.0 doesn't has this problem, but
only 2.7.0 or later version, so I am not sure it is maildrop's handling
problem or vpopmail should not add "preline" before maildrop.

Do you think this is qmail/vpopmail problem? If yes I will report to
vpopmail community.

One last question, do you think I can remove "preline" before calling maildrop?
