Ok. Who sets the envelope address, postfix? (certainly not the mail client).
Surprise, it's MUA. I'm not sure how to do it in pine, but in mutt you set the following variable: envelope_from Type: boolean Default: no When set, mutt will try to derive the message's envelope sender from the "From:" header. Note that this information is passed to sendmail command using the "-f" command line switch, so don't set this option if you are using that switch in $sendmail yourself, or if the sendmail on your machine doesn't support that command line switch.
It should by default be the machine name, no?
Well, not necessarily. It is configurable in postfix. This is what $mydomain is for. Or you can use sender_canonical table in postfix.
Then it would be "localhost" or something like that. I really don't know who sets the envelope address, and what happens when I have two different ISP, both with dynamic IPs. Should I configure it, and how?
If you are connecting from your MUA to a local MTA that should not be a problem. The envelope will be created by your MUA and (possibly) fixed by your MTA. Regards, -Kastus
