A sender address, which the envelope-from is, is neither a signature nor an identity token (although it's often abused as such). It's an address. As I already responded[1] to Andreas Metzler a few minutes ago, it's very well possible to forge a sender address. > > Third hint: You can still choose to allow any IP send emails in your > > domains name.

Nor do I control Debian's DNS. Although Debian might not want it, maybe that's exactly what the University wants. Maybe they want you to use their mail server to send mails when using their domain in the sender address, so they have control over how the service "e-mail" is used "under their domain". And everyone please stop making broken "e-mail vs. real world" analogies. [1] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
