The concept of delegates...

Hi all,

I'm wondering about the concept of "delegates".
From reading doc2.sxw, I 
always assumed that the Kolab server would reject mails I
send out if I use 
an identity that I'm not a delegate of. However, I just ran
a few experiments 
out of curiousity, and to my surprise, I can just enter what
I want for 
"From:" in KMail's composer dialog - even
non-existing or external addresses. 
The mails will be sent and they will arrive with the
fictional identity I 
entered in the "From:" field. Hence, I wonder
whether I severely 
misunderstood something and I just have to ask: What *is*
the use of 
delegates?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas
