When I get SMS messages that originate from e-mail they usually come 
from my TelCo's SMS gateway so I will hazard that it may not matter what 
you do with your From headers... or certainly I feel you will have to 
deal with the various TelCo companies many different rules etc., to get 
it to work.

See you in South Bend. :-)
