is part of the problem.

They say (third entry)
Mail Sender (from: email addy) (eg wechsler(_at_)infinitepenguins(_dot_)net) Which makes you think they are talking about the From: in your mailer (MUA).

I suggest they change this to :-

MAIL FROM: (return path - MTA) - May or may NOT be the same as the FROM: in your MUA

OK - so's I understand this -
MUA from == mail message 'from'
MTA from == mail envelope 'from'

That right? I'm not 100% on SMTP...

Also, is the HELO parameter only needed when there's no sender from: ?
