Not necessarily. LUGNET does not have this ability, as I understand it. It is
possible to construct an email that shows the "from:" as being from a lugnet.com
email address, but, again, as I understand it, not to have the email actually be
SENT by a mail server that resides on the LUGNET domain. The IP address (again,
as I understand it) will be bzpower.com (or fsu.com or bu.edu or ascential.com
or whatever) and many receiving mail systems will (properly, in my view) reject
that as spam since it has a forged "from:" header.

No, that's not what I mean.
