    Nope, Patrick is right on this one. The ruleset that appears to be in effect
    is:

    "Anything from anywhere, even if it's from a hijacked box in Korea, can forward
    through our server as long as it has a '' From: on it,
    but if one of our own customers tries to send through the server with a From:
    that says '' they can't even if they pass an SMTP AUTH
    check and prove they're ISP.net's customer..."

    And that's borked and wrong.

    See above - would you consider forwarding mail from outside ISP.net space
    without an SMTP AUTH check just because it claims to be 'From @ISP.net'?
