pine, sendmail, and local mail.

[Holmes, Steve]

Yea, I tend to stick to the m4 macro version of the sendmail configs.  I
just find those two-letter commands too cryptic for me to remember.  I need
to make another tweak to my mail settup so mail I pop down with fetchmail
from my regular ISP's e-mail address can be retained on my machine.  Right
now, I am set up to parse mail for my registered domain and that part works
great but I'm not so sure stuff will work if it were sent to my
name at isp.com.  Probably need to add the ISP's domain to my virtual domains
list. <HMMM>

Steve -

I think I am on top of this thing at long last. It turns out the idea of
masquerading was the key, although the syntax you suggested is apparently
not what my version of sendmail wanted. In the sendmail section on
masquerading there is a "DM" command to which I appended my desired
domain. I used the same syntax as Frank Carmichael suggested for the
"DS" command, to which I appended my smtp address. Finally I made an entry
of the form "CL" followed by user name for each user on my system needing
local delivery, and those three changes were all it took to solve the
problem.
I can now send mail locally among my local users without triggering my
demand dialing, and my outgoing mail carries the correct return
address. Fantastic! I have not yet looked at email from Lynx, but I bet
anything that it is now fixed too.

Many thanks for your, Frankie's, Janina's, and everyone else's help.

Janina - are you listening? It works!!!
