I am using simple news, and I think some of the mails don't reach their destination. After some research I have discovered that the mail header is:
----------------------------------------------------------
1IXKOs-0007r2-L1-H
nobody 99 32002

1190050126 0

It appears as the sender user was "nobody", so maybe my mails aren't being sent using SMTP and they are discarded as spam?

any hint is wellcome

struggling with the same problem, the based "activeMailLib" is nothin else but an "individual" wrapper around php mail,
so the smtp.module does not work here unfortunately... I have similar problems with "nobody" mails being blocked on the server

sorry but I don't see where the changes have to be made to use this lib.

I also have the problem with mails discarded as spam. And I don't understand what to do with the attached activeMailLib.php_.txt.

@enboig are you using SMTP module? Is this fault caused by simplenews or by SMTP module?
@Christoph C. Cemper What is the relation between activeMailLib and this issue? activeMailLib was used in Simplenews in version 4.7.x not the 5.x where this issue is about.

Old thread, but it describes my issue. I have installed the SMTP module and it works great for my system emails, have not had any problems. But I tried sending some newsletters just now and it is sending from nobody@myserverblahblah, which is obviously php mail instead of the gmail smtp I set up.

Same version as specified in this thread. Is there something that needs to be done to make simplenews work with SMTP?

'nobody' is not used by simplenews or smtp. I expect this comes from your site's settings.
I have not tested Simplenews with SMTP. A quick looks did not reveal any reason it should not work. Feel free to investigate this further, I'll be happy to include a solution in simplenews if you find one.

Hrmm... I am using the MIME Mail module as well. Could that possibly interfere with the smtp module?

Ok, answered my own question with that. There was a setting I didn't notice in the MIME mail module for which mail method to use. Had to be set to SMTP and all is well. Sorry for my retardedness!

Thanks for reporting back your results.
Please consider converting your experience in a small note to point other users at this requirement and file it as a documentation feature request in the Mime Mail issue queue. You can help future users with your new knowledge.
