But I'm talking about this part. So here we have DATA where I can
type From:, To: and Subject: then message and e-mail will go
from the "From:" instead of the one from the header "MAIL FROM:".

The problem is that most of the e-mail clients will show that From
in the From. I'm not sure if there is a way to block it? Or I'm
missing something?

Thanks
