Some (not many) of the users of the exim.conf file I maintain have requested that we check to make sure the authenticated user sending email only use a >From address we have on file for them.
They suggest we only send email if the From address is the same as the domain registered to the authenticated sender. I once thought the RFCs said something about that, but I can't find it anywhere. I'm probably not googling as well as I should. Our exim.conf file is used by webhosting companies, and it's always allowed users, once they authenticate, to use any outgoing email address they want. I make use of that myself,sometimes sending email out with my gmail return address, and sending from several domains I use but maintaining only one outgoing MTA in my desktop client. What is the current consensus on this issue? Is it mentioned in any RFC? Thanks.
