Per RFC 2822 E-mails have two fields: "From" and "Reply-To". Both these fields are exposed in Python's mail.EmailMessage as "sender" and "reply_to" attributes. In my hands on experience with GAE Python these two fields can be different. The "sender" MUST be an app administrator or a logged in user but the "reply_to" can be a different e-mail address. In Outlook and gmail e-mail readers, when you click "reply" to an e-mail it uses the 'Reply-To" e-mail address.
This behavior has allowed me (and assume Jason too) to build apps that send e-mail from the system on behalf of one of our users who is not logged in, and the recipient can click reply and go where it needs to go, not to an App administrator. My users do not like that the e-mails appear to come from the system (really a disguised app administrator) but at least they tolerate that Reply works as expected. I want to make sure that the existing behavior will not change because this will break my application. In fact, as I have reported on the latter part of a posting last year: http://www.gae123.com/articles/gaerd/email.html, I would like to see an ease on the restriction of the sender e-mail too.
