Jikes... that's sort of strange. Hadn't expected that. Technically I 
consinder that wrong since the MUA (the thing using SMTP) isn't running 
at the user's machine and, even more, definitely not at the router next 
to the server running the webmail. At the other and the webmail 
providers may be right since the machine really transmitting the message 
*is* the user's computer. Even though the first hop is made using HTTP 
instead of SMTP. It's probably their strategy to automatically direct 
complaints to the next level.

But it's good to know. Before I thought webmail was a bit anonymous.
