There's nothing wrong with that, except when you announce it as the
SMTP sender.  That is, you're sending bounces there.  This is a *very*
common spammer trick.  The test is misnamed perhaps, but the test
itself is correct.  If you want to set the From address to something
else, do it.  But don't fake the SMTP sender.

Either that, or bypass the spam tests for locally originating mail and
let it all go out.
