 Currently the system is taking the email address from site-admins from
 each particular site to send email from, as well as the domain for
 message-id;

 for example for the root site like webcomicplanet.com it's taking the
 email address for the site admin for the from field, that's fine so users
 have to set their admin email to the one that is associated with the site
 itself for the smtp to properly receive a 250 from gmail and other hosts.
 IE, from: philip at frumph.net from_name: Wordpress  and return email
 wordpress at webcomicplanet.com   message_id: 923402934 at webcomicplanet.com

 however, using that same logic if a user is using the add-user function in
 each subdomain blog created the smtp will send it out with from email of
 that user which would look something like:  from: user at mydomain.com
 from_name: wordpress return mail wordpress at subdomain.webcomicplanet.com
 messsage_id: 93249234234 at subdomain.webcomicplanet.com

 This screws up with *ALOT* of receiving systems such as hotmail, gmail and
 yahoo and more with their spam blockers which block headers that do not
 match.

 A site dev. can essentially fix this in code which is annoying to keep
 redoing on each install in the wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php by

 Changing the vars, then on these specific lines in class-phpmailer.php
 line 796:         $result .= sprintf("Message-ID: <%s@%s>%s", $uniq_id, /*
 $this->ServerHostname()*/'webcomicplanet.com', $this->LE);
 line 1447:             $result = "webcomicplanet.com";

 and in wp-includes/pluggable.php (wp_mail)
 line 345:               $from_name = 'WebComic Planet';
 line 356:               $from_email = 'support at webcomicplanet.com';
 line 360:       $phpmailer->From = apply_filters( 'wp_mail_from',
 'support at webcomicplanet.com' /*$from_email*/ );
 line 902:       $wp_email = 'support at webcomicplanet.com';


 Those are the changes I had to make to make the headers match so that
 yahoo and gmail would receive the information correct.  I haven't figured
 out what to do about hotmail not accepting yet.

 But what i'm proposing is that site-wide options be made in the site-admin
 -> options that would be used for *all* emails sent out.
