At the risk of sounding like a complete newbie (which, of course, I am),
why shouldn't auto-responders be using From?  I'm guessing the
answer is because the From header can be easily spoofed ... but I know
that in the past, I have run mutt and fetchmail on a machine at work and
used a routable From tag because the machine couldn't be reached from
outside the firewall.  Was it a Bad Thing to do that?
