Hi,

I have made many tests a short time ago. Yahoo is a problem, and a few 
others are incompatible with each other :(

yahoo uses the username just like "username" and nothing more, all 
others that I tested have a @fqdn. If yahoo does it, imho we needed it

Some do not accept a FROM different than the users account, but if you 
add a line "MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" it is shown normaly to de 
destination user.

So... I believe that a little flexibility is needed.
