[TriLUG] sendmail question

[Jon Carnes]

Hmmm, historically RoadRunner has not done this.  I wonder if this is a
change in their setup/philosophy.  They used to only make sure that you
were on their internal network and then they would forward your mail -
no matter what you used as the from address.

I'll test from here.
