Joshua and Joerg said you can just send mail as whomever you like through
your local SMTP relay; and while that's usually true, some conservative
sysadmins will only allow relaying through of mail claiming to be from a
particular sender domain; furthermore it's becoming more common for port
25 outgoing to be filtered when coming from "untrusted" networks.
Therefore, you have one other option involving SSH, but allowing you to
use your local mail client. Minotaur.apache.org is configured to allow
SMTP relaying via the localhost interface. So what you do is set up an
SSH tunnel that connects your own localhost port X (X can be any value
above 1024) to minotaur's localhost port 25; then in your mail client
configuration, you set your SMTP server to be "localhost", port X. When
you send a message, your mail client will connect to localhost:X, relayed
over your SSH connection to localhost:25 on minotaur. I do this, though
not with apache.org's server.
In a similar way, you can use the POP service that runs on minotaur's
localhost interface. Tunnel to localhost:110.
