What do you mean, you are not sure?  Have you never set up a masqerading
SMTP gateway?  Have you never had to deal with users who don't know what
the hell that means?  Sounds like you never have.

I do, every working day.  Everything you have said probably looks good to
you on paper, but it is worthless in the real world.  Because the users
cannot tweak Sender and Message-ID fields with MUAs like Outlook.  You'll
have to get in line behind me when it comes to saying that Outlook is
broken, but the fact is that the majority of people at my site use it.  I
needed something that works for them.  That something is masqerading, and
it automagically works for me using Gnus as well.

The last thing I will say to you, Paul, is to shut up until you have some
real world experience in dealing with mail handling, because right now you
have no idea what you are talking about, and you are just making things
difficult for everyone by spewing crap for answers.
