CDONTS strangeness

I'm trying to send a mail using CDONTS with a .FROM email
address that doesn't exist (like bob@xxxxxxxxxxx), but it won't send
the mail unless I put a valid .FROM email address (i.e. of an email
address that exists)

The mails I try to send on the Windows 2000 server are moved into the
mailroot/Badmail folder as spam.. so this would seem to be a built-in
spam prevention tool that CDONTS employs.

This would be fine, if it always worked, but sometimes perfectly correct
email addresses don't work either.

Is there any way to disable this spam-prevention so that I can send
emails no matter what the .FROM email address is?

Any info would be great!
