[SuSE Linux] masquerading from addresses in pine
I set up a separate account for some email I get from a work pop server but the user name is the same. IOW, I use pine or kmail and get an mperry@basin.com from address which is correct. On the other acount for work, I want to get the email to a separate account which I have figured out with fetchmail, but I want the FROM: address to say mperry@whatever.com instead of grabbing the from: from the system. How does one masquerade the FROM: or change it so that the part on the left and the part on the right are what you want? Ideally, I need two FROM: addresses which say: mperry@basin.com mperry@whatever.com I want the email separate because things are confusing enough for me getting email from two distinct pop servers.

From my experiences dealing with this issue when it came up pine users on our system, you can't do it in pine. Mutt (<A HREF="http://www.mutt.org/"><A HREF="http://www.mutt.org/</A">http://www.mutt.org/</A</A>>) allows this as well as other advanced header editing/etc. "out of the box".
Yup. It's a beautiful thaaang. You can configure it for mailing lists too. A different From: for any mailing lists that require subscriber only post. Try it. You'll like it. It's very, VERY configurable... perhaps TOO configurable. `*8> -- Brad Shelton bshelton@ole.net On Line Exchange <A HREF="http://ole.net"><A HREF="http://ole.net</A">http://ole.net</A</A>> Detroit News <A HREF="http://detnews.com"><A HREF="http://detnews.com</A">http://detnews.com</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Thanks folks. I had kinda hoped to be able to use pine and masquerade the address but I know mutt so will go that way. I am using kmail now but the time will come (shortly) when I get tired of kde completely and wander back. -- Michael Perry mperry@basin.com ------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I seem to remember picking up somewhere that it *is* possible to do so, but requires re-compiling pine with a particular option enabled that will allow the FROM: header to be set manually.

ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM in /pine/osdep/os-lnx.h, or apparently it can be edited manually into the users .pinerc file, although if the sysadmin has compiled in or set the option to disallow it in the system wide config file it still won't work.

The pine on the distribution should allow you to change it. There's some info in the tech-notes at /usr/doc/packages/pine/tech-notes.txt: ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM This is now a hidden runtime feature called allow-changing-from. Even with this feature turned on, users still have to include From: in their default-composer-hdrs or customized-hdrs in order to be able to edit the From line. A system administrator may disallow editing of the From line by putting the feature no-allow-changing-from in the system-wide fixed configuration file. The paranoid system administrator can compile in this behavior by defining NEVER_ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM in ./pine/osdep/os-xxx.h.

As I noted in a previous email, one can change the From: address in the pine that ships with SuSE by editing a change in .pinerc directly which allows the change and then placing the text you want in the customer header feature set. With versions greater than 4.05 I guess one has to recompile the program. Actually the FAQ says that for 4.00 one can edit the file; but it also works in 4.05. That is quite nice. -- Michael Perry mperry@basin.com ------------------- On Sat, 13 Feb 1999, Lenz Grimmer wrote:
