Actually, the SMTP may well care about the return address.
In the case of the person here (using AT&T, which blocks SMTP access except to their
SMTP server), his ability to send through Outlook stopped. AT&T would say that he
should change the SMTP server from ours to theirs. Now that *may* work fine at first,
provided that AT&T's SMTP server allows him to send mail using a non-AT&T return
address.
However, the problem occurs when he brings his laptop into the office. When he is in
the office, he is using our network. Outlook, which is set to use AT&T's SMTP server,
isn't going to be able to send through the AT&T server from our network for obvious
reasons (not using an AT&T IP address, and not to or from an AT&T E-mail address).
