I spoofed a sender's e-mail address (demonstration as proof of concept) for a message going through the servers at Oak Ridge National Lab in the mid 90's so no validation was a common practice back then. Sending without validation is the only thing that I can come up with to explain how or why the Ruby snippet works. But it does work. It's part of a project to use SMS to trigger and log events using Twilio and Gmail and IFTTT and Google Drive (kind of an Internet of Things: Duct-Tape Edition!)</div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">I would rather have a token or credential to validate for the outgoing mail server if validation is unavoidable. The thought of having my password setting in a directory in clear text gives me the heebee jeebees. I may use SMS for communication if I cannot figure out how to send e-mail without the clear text password.</div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Thanks for chiming in!

The client in Python is quite easy, and I have written many in the past. The Ruby code snippet would need to use one of the two ports above in order to be secure which can be done in any language.
