I have some user websites using Frontpage with email. The from field on the email shows up as wwwwebh@www2.prioritycolocation.com for those Frontpage hosting accounts. Note: wwwwebh is the user name of the hosting account.
I have researched this issue and here is what needs to be done.
Change the frontpage configuration file: /usr/local/frontpage/version4.0/frontpg.cnf
Option 'MailSender' has a default Value "" - which becomes 'wwwwebh@www2.prioritycolocation.com'
Change the default to "Webmaster" so resellers do not need to explain what the problem is with Frontpage mail.
This info is in the Frontpage Resource kit: http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/serk/
MailSender
Sets the user name to use as the From account when sending e-mail. Specifically, it is used as the argument to the SEND FROM: command in SMTP. The default for SMTP is user@host, where user is the current user account and host is the current host name.
Thanks
p.s. you will need to change on all your servers. Not sure if anything needs to be recompiled.

Well i've followed those directions, theres a domain by domain option for it also it looks, but your guess is as good as mine if instructions you've provided don't work properly. If you've got more ideas, just let me know, i'd be happy to give 'em a go .
frontpage.cnf should hold the entire server global defaults.
Could you attach or send to my personal email at webmaster@staffsolutions.com
If MailSender is not in that file the default kicks in. A new line will need to be added as
mailsender = webmaster
(not sure of syntax of the file itself)
If this is corrected, it will correct every account for every reseller and every web site using frontpage on the server.
