And most smtp servers that I know also pass mail from any from-address to
any to-address if the IP number of he client machine belongs to a trusted
range (usually the range that belongs to the ISP). So I can send both my
private mail and my work mail from both my home ISP's smtp server and my
work's smtp server (but only if I am at the proper location).
