Subject: How do you change domain name?

From: Matt Messina <[email-masked]>

Bear with me, this is not as simple as you probably think ...

In my .pinerc file:
user-domain=umich.edu
use-only-domain-name=yes

I've also tried with use-only-domain-name=no.

Here's the problem.  When I subscribe to a listserv or listproc mailing 
list, the listserver figures out my real domain name (which is 
engin.umich.edu) and registers me with that address.  I prefer to get my 
mail through our X.500 gateway (umich.edu).

Are there more .pinerc entries than are documented in the .pinerc file?  
Such as, perhaps, local-domain?  What motivates my question is a few 
lines I saw in .pine-debugX.

---------- .pine-debug1 (excerpt)
Userid: messina
Fullname: "Matt Messina"
User domain name being used "umich.edu"
Local Domain name being used "engin.umich.edu"
Host name being used "azure.engin.umich.edu"
Mail Domain name being used "umich.edu"
---------- .pine-debug1 (excerpt)

Somehow, the Local Domain seems to be escaping, although I'd like to hide 
it from the listservers.  Is there a way to stop this?  Thanks for any help.

Matt,

If user-domain is set, use-only-domain is ignored.  I think the problem is
that listproc incorrectly uses the Sender: header instead of the From:  or
Reply-To: header.  We have not yet figured out how to completely solve the
"listproc problem" ourselves...

> "listproc problem" ourselves... 

Actually, I think that the Sender header says what I want it to.  When I 
send myself something, the Sender line says [email-masked], not 
[email-masked].

Maybe it has nothing to do with user agents.  Maybe it's looking at the 
SMTP Received headers?  If that's the case, I don't think that there's 
anything that I (or the Pine Team, for that matter) can do.  Anyone who 
knows anything about how listservers work please tell me.

By the way, you can make Sender say whatever you want by editing it while 
it's in postponed-mail.  You may want to change that, so that the Sender 
line isn't added until you actually send the message.

I think I was able to "forge" this message as far as the From and Sender 
lines are concerned.  I left the Reply-To alone, although that would have 
been just as easy to change.  (I'm using 3.87 in case that matters.)

Oh well, I guess I'll have to take my mailing lists at my "real" 
address.  Thanks anyway.
