FYI - in ~/.pinerc you might want to set: user-domain=alltel.net Also, add 'allow-changing-from' (without quotes) to the feature-list, and set default-composer-hdrs=To:, Cc:, From:, Attachmnt:, Subject: This will allow you to edit the From: header in the composer window. Very useful if you have several accounts, and must remember to post to specific lists from the account subscribed to that list. It may also be helpful to set the 'masquerade as' directive in your MTA. In sendmail it's the DM directive. On Sat, 24 Mar 2001, Konstantin (Kastus) Shchuka wrote:
Being so frustrated with pine (I hadn't figured out how to change sender address in it) I switched to mutt. I must admit that was a great decision, like starting using Linux back in 1995.
I added these lines to .muttrc file in my home directory:
set hostname = "tsoft.com" set realname = "Konstantin (Kastus) Shchuka"
Since then mutt does the job perfectly.

Using my standard email address I can sign onto the SuSE-linux-e list, and I can sign off of that list. I can download and read email from the list. BUT, I CANNOT send mail to the list. They bounce back with a message about needing a 'fully qualified name". If my jk05308@alltel.net is good enough to sign on and off, and download email from the list, why does it then pick my logon name and domain name (jerry@jerrykreps) as a gatekeeper? Makes no sense. JLK PS. I am sending this question via my Sony precisely because although my Beast can sign on to the list and download email from the list, any email replys or new email is rejected with the msg mentioned above.
