when the man page refers to the command-like "sender" it
means the envelope sender.  the envelope sender appears in unix mbox
format as the 'From ' line at the beginning of each message.  this is
not the same as the 'From: ' line in the smtp header.

but none of this has anything to do with gmail's willingness to relay
mail.
