Seriously, there should be a way to safely authorize a username to send
on behalf of another.

something like:

$DEFINE/TABLE=(obscure name)/EXEC TCPIP$SMTP_FROM_HOFFMAN "chef@xxxxxxxxxx","System@xxxxxxxxxxx","hurd@xxxxxx"

Then, when user "HOFFMAN" is logged in, he could define TCPIP$SMTP_FROM
to any of the above 3 values, but not any other values. MAIL would
ignore the user definition if its translation wasn't contained in the
"secure" definition.

Right now, TCPIP$SMTP_FROM is all or nothing.
