Zombies do both, but my comment wasn't about zombies, it was about
users. If you are a user with a vanity domain trying to send e-mail
"From: ", you cannot through VZ's system. Despite
the fact we have spent years telling people they have to use their
local ISP's mail server to send mail out.
Does VZ support SMTP AUTH these days? (My info is over a year old.)
