Here is a trivial example of how to 'fake it':

my $SENDMAIL = '/usr/lib/sendmail';

open (MAIL, "| $SENDMAIL -t -F Sneex -f sneex\@mac.com") ||
         die ("$0: Can't open $SENDMAIL: $!\n");

print MAIL <<_1EOBAAA;
From: sneex\@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: sneex\@mac.com
Subject: perl mailing...

....iudicium ferat...

_1EOBAAA

close (MAIL);

exit;

__END__


But that is beside the point; the point I suppose was to warn 
people that someone may be intentionally posing as Perl community 
characters.  Sorry for the noise.
