Add to that the possibility that the mail server, by design or by configuration, won't accept messages from CF that other mail servers might.
Examples are QMail's rejection of messages with bare linefeeds and some mail servers that won't accept multiple TO addresses separated by semicolons. Some mail servers will accept for relay a message without a FROM address, some won't.
