Subject: problem w/user-domain and smtp-server

Hi.  First post here for me, so excuse the potentially rookie question.

I'm running pine on a Sun running Solaris 2.3.  In my .pinerc, I've
defined a user-domain that is different from the machine's hostname
(actually, what I've defined as the user-domain is a CNAME for the
hostname).  If I'm reading the docs right, this should be used for
the "right-hand part" of the From: and return-path addresses on
outgoing mail.  It isn't; all mail sent from pine goes out with
the regular hostname (and yes, I really do have a legitimate reason
for wanting to do this, if possible.  It's a long story) in the
from and return-path.

So, I thought to myself, it's probably sendmail re-writing all that
stuff, so I defined smtp-server in order to try to bypass the local
sendmail.  No luck; everything still has from and return-path pointing
at the local hostname, rather than the stuff in the personal config
file.  I *do* have the user-domain defined to be the hostname in the
system-wide file, but it's my understanding that the personal config
file takes precedence, right?

So, does anyone have any ideas how to get the outgoing mail to have
from and return addresses different than the default on a per-user
basis.  Thanks.

Larry,

The first thing to do is check your .pine-debug1 file to see what is 
getting picked up from each config file.  If that doesn't point out 
anything, send us a copy and we'll take a look...

Thanks for the request!
