At some point, the network name that one's PC inserts into outgoing

I venture to suggest that many (most?) .home users will be using their
ISP's smarthost, which would mean that the ISP (a) usually insist on
authentication and (b) and likely to have issued the network name
(like ip70-179-161-106.fv.ks.cox.net) themselves.
Not actually sure of that. Verizon stopped offering mail a while
ago (sent people to AOL), and then there are folks who have
university or work accounts.
