Or, if you have an ISP like GTE, Verizon or IJ that has a strange SMTP. You
must have your From: address set to a valid gte.net, verizon.net or ij.net
so that their SMTP will relay your mail. Their instructions are to set your
Reply-to to the address you want to use. Give it a try. Just set a From:
address of postmaster@xxxxxxx or postmaster@xxxxxx and send yourself mail
via smtp.ij.net or mtapop1.verizon.net and it will relay. Brilliant setup,
for spammers. Not too hard to guess a valid From: address.
