Actually, your Postal mail theory isn't valid. Try getting a mailing machine. Your system is assigned a zip code (the one you mail from). That is printed on your envelopes with the postage. Now try going to another state and dropping that mail in a mail box. I can guarantee you that the post office is going to be all over you in a second. e-mail is really no different, try sending using a forged/invalid helo, and you are denied immediately. Fix YOUR problem (obviously a problem) and there is no trouble sending and e-mail.
