It's convenient that FM allows people to send email from third-party domains, but it shouldn't allow anyone to send using someone else's address that hosted at FM. If they do it makes a mockery of SPF and DMARC.

The likes of Google and Microsoft don't allow it, I would hope FM doesn't, but I've never tested it.
