Yeah, I think that could be handy - especially where you have zope and your 
smtp-server authenticating off the same source (ldap?).  Then if there was a 
question as to who sent a mail, you'd only have to look in the mail logs, and 
not try and cross-reference them with web logs.

Maybe have it so it uses the userid+password if it's available, or a 
specified id/password when it's an anonymous user.
