That depends. :-)

Do you use SMTP directly or pass the message to an MTA via sendmail or
some other MUA? This is set up in mh (or nmh) in mts.conf.

I pass the message via SMTP to localhost where I have postfix set up to
change the From: address to [email protected] and send it out, but there
are lots of ways to deal with this depending on the software you use.
