Well, it's not where you're sending from, is it? If you're required to use the correct From address, it adds a level of accountablity - you can't hide behind forged headers (which is essentially what you're advocating - yes I know lots of people do it, and I've done it myself). If ISPs required the use of an email address which they know is associated with the account the email's coming from, then all the bounce messages would get back to the right place, and I'd be much happier. This could of course be an email address on a domain you've told them you're using; it doesn't have to be one of theirs.
