If you're using Sendmail:

,----
| `message-sendmail-envelope-from'
|      When `message-sendmail-f-is-evil' is `nil', this specifies the
|      address to use in the SMTP envelope.  If it is `nil', use
|      `user-mail-address'.  If it is the symbol `header', use the `From'
|      header of the message.
`----

I think there's something similar if you're using smtpmail.el.
