“…not feasible to send mail claiming to be from a particular address
through any arbitrarily chosen mail server…”
Mostly true but there’s ways around such hindrances…

I haven’t used any of my “assigned” SMTP servers since 2000. And
since 2013, been using a combo of Amazon’s SES or my own Postfix…the
latter is especially nice if one wants to use a non-standard port...

is rumored to have said:
If I have more than one Source Acct, how do I tell Mailmate with SMTP
server to use for outgoing mail?
Each account has its own exclusive SMTP Server settings. This is good
because on the modern Internet, it is not feasible to send mail
claiming to be from a particular address through any arbitrarily
chosen mail server. It might work, but more likely your mail would be
rejected or worse: dropped silently.
