The only place that Mindspring would show up is in the
headers of the message. The message will still appear from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the nature of SMTP.
When I am on the road I use MSN. I set my SMTP to their
server. However my e-mail address, POP3 settings, etc are
still the same.
Of course this would not be a problem if every one running a
mail server on the Internet would disable un-authorized relay.
The chances of that happening are pretty slim since every time
you approach an admin and ask them to close their gaping hole
they come up with some lame excuse why they need to leave it
open.
