I believe the authentication warning is coming from the mail daemon, not
Pine. '-bs' as an option to sendmail, etc tells it to accept a message
using SMTP protocol. Presumably the Pine mailer is invoking sendmail to
deliver the message, and something in the mailer configuration thinks this
is suspicious and adds this header.

1. I assume you changed the user domain.
2. Try localhost as the smtp server (yes -- type localhost in the config
space -- it may not mean anything different, but it will probably get rid
of the problem).

This is from sendmail.  You are not a trusted user according to 
/etc/sendmail.cf, so the friendly sendmail lets the recipients know
that the sender was changed with an option.

You must talk to the mail administrators to fix this.
