in case you're interested, it's just an amusing effort to enforce basic 
security.  you have to use the same From: field address for posting as 
you used for registering.  (Some systems let you do multiple 
registrations, to permit a variety of posting addresses, but suppress 
delivery on the additional ones.)  As security measures go, it's all 
rather charming...
