The former. When I communicate with some business or something, I create a dedicated alias in /etc/aliases on my server (that's now both incoming one, the MX, and outgoing one, and I want it to be only the incoming one) and send email from it, so if I receive spam later, I know who's to blame (and can easily remove an alias). I'd like to avoid having to create it also on the outgoing server -- I'd like it to accept everything from my domain. -- What people say behind your back is your standing in the community.
