There are two issues here created by using the machine as an
intermediary,
1) verification that a message came from a specific user account on a
machine and
2) verifying that the owner of that account actually (knowingly) sent
it.

The first is a mail protocol issue, the second is quite another
matter.

Sometimes the non-technical _expression_ of a requirement expands the issue
beyond our ability with email] to address it.
