If you mean CDO1.21, then that's entirely correct -- the server will
authenticate you. You need to set PR_SENT_REPRESENTING_EMAIL_ADDRESS et
al, but you'll still only be able to do this for people that have set
you as a delegate for sending on behalf of them.

I don't think so, no.

You probably want to use either raw SMTP, in which case you can do
whatever you want with the headers as there's no authentication (but
you'll need to be able to find a server from somewhere), or CDOWin2K,
which gives you more control.
