I often have a requirement to send emails from an address that is not really mine. Normally this is used for testing relays or sending unsubscribe messages to mailing lists on behalf of people who have left the company or have got on a mailing list they can’t get off. Exchange is really helpful in that it insists you can only use your real email address to send with in Outlook. Blat is a useful command that I use when writing batch files, but its not very useful for sending quick emails as a user. QuickSend from Xtreme Webware does the trick and enables me to send emails by specifying the to,from and email server that I want to send mail to. Works a treat.

FYI: Instant webmail http://iloaf.com/iwm allows this by default, and there is a plug-in for squirrelmail that allows the same.
Blat has a problem with it’s encoding from time to time I’ve found. Rare but annoying.
