If I understand you correctly here, you want a visitor to be able to put 
a "To" address and a "From" address, and you want to pass on the mail 
with those addresses and no others.

Let me know if you get it working - I'll sell the website's address to 
spammers for a substantial fee.

Put another way, do /not/ do this.  If you are sending email, then /you/ 
are sending it.  If /your/ server is sending email, then the "from" and 
"sender" addresses should be /your/ server or related email addresses. 
It is basically fraud to say that someone else sent the email, even if 
that someone had filled in the web form for the email.

Most SMTP clients - ssmtp, Python's SMTP module, or anything else other 
than a standard email program (which tend to be a bit limited) can put 
anything you want in any field.
