Jim,
What you found is essentially correct, the program is set up to support quite long email addresses, however there might be a restriction at your SMTP that limits the length to something far shorter.  Two questions:
1. Which version of Blat did you test?
2. Do you have a debug log output of that attempt with 42 characters in the sender email address?  If you have a debug log from using a 42 character sender email address, I’d like to see that log file, then I might be able to give a better answer to why it failed.  Debug logs can be sent to me at home – check the From: line of this message for my home email address.
