'from' works fine, but only if AFS is mounted, because it has
to stat /afs/athena.mit.edu/system/config/from. Don't ask me why.
Because from, when it was originally added, did something that the
postmasters thought might overly hose the PO servers, they added in a
safety switch. If that file doesn't exist (that is, if it can't stat
it), it doesn't work. That's all.
