Frankly - I don't see how (eg) virgin could possibly stop me
from sending mail with a virgin.net address in the From: header
from any ISP. I haven't used any of virgin's mailservers to
send this mail.
They COULD however in theory prevent me from READING virgin.net
mail as I have to explicitly poll one of their mailservers
for that, so I think you may have it the wrong way round ..
