"PPA access cancelled" emails are sent with envelope From and To set to root@localhost

Hi,

The title says it all.
https://pastebin.canonical.com/p/NtnPrGRtgf/ for a Canonical-only copy of email headers.

Thanks

From a first pass at investigating this, I think this may be a bug with non-immediate mail delivery that's been hanging around for a long time but hasn't really been exposed in many situations so we haven't noticed. From a first pass, it looks as though perhaps adding `<mail:smtpMailer name="localhost" hostname="localhost" port="25" />` to `{lpnet,production}/mail-configure-normal.zcml` might do the job, in order to override the default stub mailer.

(Immediate mail delivery goes through a different code path that invokes `smtplib` directly, so doesn't suffer from this problem.)

This is still happening (I got an email with root@localhost today)

We're still seeing this, the most recent - https://pastebin.canonical.com/p/SkvNhzb7jK/

It looks like it's just the envelope To now.

Oh, I lied, it's the envelope From too:

Also - https://pastebin.canonical.com/p/p4szVMf7Vw/

With the latest example, it looks to be both from root@localhost and sent to root@localhost.
