[#9261] - SMTP From address is not used with private messages

Steps to reproduce the issue
Configure the server global settings to use SMTP email and enter a value in the From address.
Use Components -> Messaging -> New Private Message to send a message from an admin with a different address to another user.
Expected result
User should receive an email to their configured email address that is from the SMTP from address with a reply-to reflecting the user email address who sent the message
Actual result
"SMTP Error: data not accepted" due to the fact that the SMTP server expects the From address to be on a local domain, but it was using the sender's email address instead. See http://joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/15444/smtp-email-failing-via-joomla-succeeding-outside-of-joomla

Additional comments
The same test succeeds if I change the sending user's email address to match the SMTP From address.
It's not clear if this problem extends beyond private messages. that's just the easiest way I know how to test Joomla email.

PHP Mail has a similar, probably related issue on Joomla! 3.4.8, when using Mass Mail.
Using Mass Mail, when I send to Super Users is the email is sent ok. But, when I send to Registered users the email is not sent. I'm sending as BCC in both cases. All of the other settings are the same. I only change from Super Users to Registered.
In /administrator/php_mail.log the failed message has two "To:" recipients, the first one being empty.

The successful email to Super Users log looks like this:
