Headers are manually created whenever programmatically sending email messages

To clarify this a little, in case anyone isn't familiar, to send an email message programmatically, you basically just send a string with some headers and body content to the email server. Here are what the headers look like:

  Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 06:53:06 -0400
  From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON>
  Message-Id: <200906131053.n5DAr2Nv025105@jclinux>
  To: <root@jclinux>
To change the sender, all you'd need to do is change the from line. For example:

  From: Steve Jobs <[email protected]>
A default sendmail implementation will deliver that message all day. Email headers should never be used for authentication.
