Sending mail with Emacs and msmtp

I'm having difficulties sending mail with msmtp and Emacs.
I installed several packages.
sudo apt install notmuch isync afew msmtp maildir-utils
Configs attached. "config" is my msmtp config.
When I do C-x m in Emacs, I get a buffer that looks like this:
To:
Subject:
From: Caleb Herbert
--text follows this line--
It should show my actual email address.
--
Thanks,
Caleb

Sorry. I guess the mailing list interface did not take my email attachments.
I do not know the correct path to the SSL certs.
Currently, C-x m looks like this.
To:
Subject:
From: Caleb Herbert [less-than] caleb [at] bender.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me [greater-than]
--text follows this line--
Configs attached.

Does msmtp successfully send mail from the terminal?
According to https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/msmtp.1.html (I do not have msmtp installed):
Sendmail mode (default):
msmtp [option...] [--] recipient...
(...)
In the default sendmail mode, msmtp reads a mail from standard input and sends it to an
SMTP server for delivery.
So, I would try (substituting "recipient" with an email address):
$ echo banana | msmtp recipient

Made some changes to my mysmtprc. It sends from the command line now. Screenshot attached.
C-x m in Emacs still has the wrong From line. Screenshot attached.

Given what is written there, you obviously need to set mail-host-address (does it tickle?). On https://pagefault.se/post/email-in-emacs/#sending-emails eric sets some other variables too.

Good news!
The mail sends from Emacs!
But the From says caleb at bluehome dot net rather than csh at bluehome dot net.

Set "user-mail-address" (with 2 Ds) instead of "user-mail-adress" (with 1 D). That should do it, according to https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Mail-Headers.html
