make it come from some bot email address, not your work one?

I'm all for e.g. sending From: bot-noreply@opendaylight.org - ok? But as far as I know, due to now widely deployed anti spam mesaures, things in the good old land of emails have moved on considerably since I used to prank fellow students with fake From and Date at university via un-authenticated un-verified SMTP... for example Gmail's SMTP will only accept From: gmail accounts - as far as a I know.

zxiiro which SMTP server shall we use to use such emails from - is there one at the LF? Do we need to create a dedicated email account (with password) to let such a SMTP server accept bulk email?
