wait a minute

[Holmes, Steve]

I leave all the specific stuff out of pine's configuration; let pine get all
system defaults.  For sendmail, you need to add a "masquerade-as" option.
It goes like this:
MASQUERADE_AS(mhonline)
Insert this line into your sendmail.mc file and compile with m4 as usual.
This will bury the hudson part of your outgoing mail.  What I can't remember
right this minute is whether this address will also appear in all your local
mail sent on your machine.  If this is indeed the case, then the only
problem is your replies would end up going out through your ISP's mail
server to get back to you.  There may be a way to suppress this behavior on
local mail but not sure right now.

This sendmail stuff sure gets complicated.  Once I get it working the way I
want, I put the thing to bed and kind of forget about it for a very long
time:).

Frank -
I am sending to my local names okay now, and my outgoing mail is going out
too, but it contains an incorrect "from" address. If you will notice it
says "hudson.mhonline.net" and ought to say only "mhonline.net". The name
"hudson" is what I specified as my hostname when I ran netconfig, and
"mhonline.net" is what I specified as the domain name That happens to be
what my ISP uses as its domain. But adding the "hudson" creates an illegal
return address... I used to have pine create the proper outgoing address,
but if I put that back in it screws up my local deliveries. Catch 22. I
have to ask sendmail to ignore the "hudson" part of
"hudson.mhonline.net". Any idea how to do that?
