If I didn't have that check in there, you could set your reply to address in gmail or yahoo as the admins email address and you would show to the forums as posting as the admin

To avoid that security loop hole, it checks who the actual domain is that is sending the email

Just use your true gmail address for your account and you will be fine.

The only issue is, that if I really want to post as the ADMIN, I could just set up a whole profile in thunderbird or outlook and truly send as that person. Then the script will still pass the tests and post as a fake author.

So, putting that test in limits people who use services like gmail but have multiple profiles.
