Thanks, I'll look out for any gotchas. But it must work.

Right now it's just theory. However, it seems reasonable.

If you look at a module like Mail::Sendmail, there is a setting which
allows you to choose the ip address of the SMTP you want to use. I was
looking for this setting in P::M until I realized that it just punts to
the sendmail client. Hopefully my notes should clear this up. Please
augment/revise as you see fit.
