-With the first option (local ISP), setting the "Envelope-from" address to //you@sdf.org// might result in the message getting blocked by your recipient's email provider, since your local ISP is not likely to be recognized as a valid origin for an address like //you@sdf.org// (i.e, the message fails SPF/DKIM verification). The latter solution ([[ssh sendmail instead of login shell|sendmail in an SSH session]]) will present no such discrepancy between "Envelope-from" and originating host, so the message is more likely to be delivered successfully.+With the first option (local ISP), setting the "Envelope-from" address to //you@sdf.org// might result in the message getting blocked by your recipient's email provider, since your local ISP is not likely to be recognized as a valid origin for an address like //you@sdf.org// (i.e, the message fails SPF/DKIM verification).

 If you are at the User or ARPA level and have downloaded a message to your local client and want to make it look as if //you@sdf.org// is replying, first check whether your mail client lets you define **different servers for incoming and outgoing mail**. Many mail clients will only let you define a single server per email address, regardless of the direction the mail is going. But [[K-9 Mail for Android]]--see the app store--is a client that will definitely work. If you are at the User or ARPA level and have downloaded a message to your local client and want to make it look as if //you@sdf.org// is replying, first check whether your mail client lets you define **different servers for incoming and outgoing mail**.

 +Validated users, ARPA, and all other memberships can initiate an SSH session that runs ''sendmail -t'' instead of an interactive shell. By telling this SSH session to get its standard input from a MIME-formatted file, you can do the mail composition on your local machine and avoid the lag of a high-latency connection. See [[ssh noninteractive sendmail]] for more details.
