It depends surely on the mail host? If I've done an authenticated login to a reputable mail provider, surely they'll make sure that what they send out will accurately reflect who I am, not who my email client claims?
I think that's correct - it depends. I switched ISP's 2 weeks ago (bad Spectrum cable to great Frontier fiber service *finally* in my neighborhood) and had to rework that relay processing a bit. The old ISP required specific FROM addresses. The new outgoing email server (Godaddy) does not seem to check or change those addresses. It does require a paid account with userid and password, and with that I assume they can trace mail back to me if I decide to change careers and get into the spam business :)
