It is not an "open" line if you are connected to it.

That's what Abigail is saying. For example, your From address is
@gmx.be, but you are logged in through @abc.be, i.e. dial in through
them. Then use the SMTP serever of abc.be. That's what I doing here:
look at my From address and my SMTP server in the headers. I never use
the GMX SMTP server; in fact I use the same local SMTP server for all
my five accounts across three countries.
Relaying would be if I used an SMTP server in Germany for an account
in Thailand while having dialled in through an ISP in Taiwan. If I use
the SMTP server of the ISP I dial in through, it is not relaying,
never mind the From address.
And the recipient will reply to the Reply-To address, or if there is
none or they use a non-RFC compliant mailer, to the From address. they
will never know who you were logged in through, or whose SMTP server
you used; as you desire.
