I wish there were some way to allow this *without* privs, perhaps
with an identifier. I have an application at a customer's site
which needs to send an e-mail, but with a return address pointing
at the user's (yuck) Microsoft Exchange Server account. For
example, VMS user FRISBIE needs to send mail with a "From:" address
of Alan.Frisbie@Example.com. Can anyone think of an easy way to
do this without privs?
