I am setting up a new system, and would like to get all of the e-mail settings for my users correct this time ;-)

I am using a sendmail/procmail/pine combo. (I might move to mutt, but would rather not)

1: How would I set the smtp server of my isp OTHER than in the pine configuration? I think there should be a configuration file out there, but I can't find it.

2: How can I alter the "from" section of (outgoing)e-mails? With pine, I always get :

"from <system_user>@myisp.net", where I want:

"from <isp_username>@myisp.net"

Well, I'm still Google'n around for answers to my other problems, but maybe someone can help me with this?

Hi..

You can use the following options in pine.


personal-name = <No Value Set: using "root">
user-domain = <No Value Set>
smtp-server = <No Value Set>
nntp-server = <No Value Set>
inbox-path = <No Value Set: using "inbox">
incoming-archive-folders = <No Value Set>
pruned-folders = <No Value Set>
default-fcc = <No Value Set: using "sent-mail">
default-saved-msg-folder = <No Value Set: using "saved-messages">
postponed-folder = <No Value Set: using "postponed-msgs">
read-message-folder = <No Value Set>
form-letter-folder = <No Value Set>
literal-signature = <No Value Set>
signature-file = <No Value Set: using ".signature">
feature-list =

Thanks. I ended up getting exactly the information I needed from the 'Sendmail-Address-Rewrite' Mini how-to. It was a good source for a virgin sendmail configurator like me.

I did end up throwing this line in the pinerc so that I can change any of the headers on-the-fly if I need:

default-composer-hdrs = To:,
From:,
Cc:,
Attchmnt:,
Subject:,
