Sysadmin Pro - SMTP Email Setup

No email server SHOULD allow IP addresses in the From address, and certainly no modern ones are configured this way out of the box, but there might be a system out there somewhere that allows numeric FROM addresses - especially in “hobby shop” or local-use-only mail servers. It would have to be in a place where they turned of the MX check.

I agree that it’s wrong and the sysadmin should be beaten with a cat-6 cable, but it’s still possible to set one up. Since I don’t administer all of the systems out there, I was reticent to say “No”.

Having said that, I agree that it’s dangerous as HECK to allow numeric addresses in a From address.
