The fact that you are sending email from, say, your desktop with an envelope
sender address of <something@hotmail.com> doesn't mean that "you are
@hotmail.com".  It means that replies should go to that address.  There is
nothing wrong with that construction.  (Of course, the real-life use might be
limited, but with postgresql.org or for that matter mostly everyone besides
hotmail.com, there certainly are varied ways to read email, so that argument
is moot for our purposes anyway.)
