It doesn't require them, though can specify them if you like.

Certainly.

To set the real name part, look at the $realname variable.
The hostname part can be changed with $hostname, $hidden_host
variables.  If you want more control over the From: header,
you can always specify it with something like

  my_hdr From: Your Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Hope this helps,
