I, for one, hate the idea. My From address should be cme@acm.org. That's
my remailer where I receive all my incoming e-mail. However, my outgoing
SMTP server depends on which cable modem provider or hot spot I happen to be
at the moment. It would be that SMTP machine that signs my outgoing mail,
not acm.org who never sees my outgoing mail.
So, in capsule: this proposal assumes that you use the same machine for
outgoing and incoming e-mail.
