[Ilugc] sending mail from an arbitrary mail id using a local smtp server

no. it is just a feature of the smtp protocol
Oh ok... Well, it sure is a convenient feature. I am using BSNL
Broadband currently, and I happen to have a vsnl.net address which I
want to use. The problem is that vsnl.net server handling SMTP doesn't
allow me to send mail unless I have actually 'dialled-in' !! Which
needless to say is a real pain... And they dont seem to support SMTP
Auth either... I guess I cant really relay my mail through the vsnl
smtp servers either..
that said you really should be doing this when you run smtp servers
on dialups - http://www.hserus.net/postfix.html
This is certainly very interesting...
By setting these like this(in main.cf),
myhostname = vsnl.net
mydomain = vsnl.net
myorigin = $mydomain
I should be able to eliminate the lines in the headers which say that
the mail was recieved from localhost.localdomain??, i.e
Received: from 59.92.43.77 (EHLO localhost.localdomain) (59.92.43.77)
