Domain as in domain name.  If I'm sending from a machine whose FDQN
has little to do with the domain at which I receive mail.

Yup, no problem with that.  

Will this qualify as forging my address: 
	my home box is known as sgichr.sib.hl.no.  Still, I wish to
	send and receive mail as chr@mediascience.no.

Is there anything wrong with setting message-user-mail-address to
chr@mediascience.no, even if I don't use the MTA at mediascience.no
when sending mail?
