The em=ail quoted below was in my SPAM box so I never saw it until

Yes, Postfix "just works" by default as an ideal non-relay SMTPserver for WebDNA mail, at least on Linux.=C2=A0 But most people
configure it to send mail directly rather than passing its mail
off to the Google server like you're doing.
If you configure it to send mail directly, Postfix will not change
your 'From' addresses like Google does.=C2=A0 This means you can us=e
any 'From' address you feel like entering into the WebDNA
[sendmail] tag, thus allowing extreme flexibility.
