There would be additional things needed above what we already have.

As I said in my previous mail, I would like to offer that at some point, but it is not going to happen in the near future. Rainer

That's not our mission. You'll have to find an smtp server that allow you to change the from address.

This is working fine, but I’d like to have a more general approach as I can’t imagine that I am the only one faced with this kind of problem for the MacPorts handle email address. Greets, Marko *) This is done to put a stop to spammers, I believe.

Correct, we do not offer an smtp server. > I’d like to be able to send emails as well, not just receive them. What > am I missing here - in case the requested is also possible since 10 years? Use your normal smtp server, from your ISP or wherever. Set a different From address in your email client. In Apple Mail, for example, I get a drop-down menu in my compose window, so I can choose which address I want to send from for each message.
