What it does
The From address on every mail.
When set
Sets who the mail appears to come from. A sender the relay has not verified gets the mail rejected. With no sender at all and anonymous mail, mail is skipped with a warning.
When blank or default
Left blank, the default applies: Left empty: the mail server user name

Requires
Read by: risk-analysis.
Recommended
Keep the default. Change it when: Set it whenever mail is on; use an address your mail relay accepts as sender.
