This is not a problem with LSMTP.  The extra white space is where the field
would normally be 'folded' into two or more lines.  Unfortunately, not all
mailers 'fold' the same way and not all e-mail clients interpret it the
same, either, hence the reason you are seeing it now.

RFC822 states that folding is expected to take place around 65-72
characters.  The solution is to try and shorten the length of the From:
field to prevent the chance of folding.
