 Replying to [comment:31 michael.orlitzky]:
 > This isn't an outrageous scenario, and there are plenty of other reasons
 why a web host might not be able to change DNS records for a site they
 host (I've already mentioned this somewhere else). So there are two
 problems that can't be assumed away:

 I think that now we are moving in circles. Long story short: you would
 rather not add a plugin just for such a "simple feature."

 > * No one knows that WP is going to try to send mail as
 `wordpress@$SERVER_NAME`, because they haven't configured it to do that.
 Even if they have access to the DNS, it's not obvious that they need to
 make changes.
 > * You will not always be able to get SPF/DKIM to pass for
 `$SERVER_NAME`. You must be able to change the `From: ` address in that
 case.

 And this is the conclusion we got, but maybe not the way you expected.
 Instead of adding more options, we will be simply adding more docs.
