Dunno what newspapers you read, but the Wall Street Journal and New
York Times among others put the user's address on the From: line.
Again, that is not a bug. That is how e-mail is supposed to work.
That is an implementation choice John, not "That is how e-mail is
supposed to work".
Actually, Mike, it is very much how email is supposed to work, and has
been for roughly 30 years.
There has never been an Internet standards requirement for the author's
domain administrator and the author's email operator to have a close
operational linkage.
Although such linkages have long been common, they have never been
required.
What's taking place now is a move to make it a requirement.
This is a paradigm change, Mike.
Having open mail relays used to be considered
acceptable.
Correct. And it, too, was a paradigm change. But it had a very strong
basis and very broad-based understanding and support.
It also didn't break mailing list participation.
