While Mary's solution will work, and is needed when people post from
multiple accounts, all e-mail software that I know of lets the user set
what they want in the From field. This will override what the mail server
sticks in the field. Even Pine has it as one of its configuration options.
This control is necessary so someone using a forwarded domain name (like I
am) can put it in the From field, as the mailing software would never know
you are using such.
