Hi Dietmar,

You are right, it is less confusing but not always possible.
Sometimes SMTP servers are not in our control and it is not possible to
sent an email from non-existing domain or non-existing email.
The solution is:
- change mailfrom so something that can be accepted
- add relayhost=your_restricted_smtp_relay

Changing relayhost was easy but changing mailfrom was not possible without
this patch.

Best regards,
Stanislav
