I also have this problem.  The Linux user name that i use... differs from the ISP user name... and so i must telnet to the ISP's server... in order to send mail.

This is easily fixed. When you set up your remote inbox, add in your
userid. It will still ask you for a password, but at least the username
will be correct.

# List of incoming msg folders besides INBOX, e.g. ={host2}inbox,
# {host3}inbox
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-host-name}folder-path
incoming-folders=remote {remote.machine.domain/user=user_id}INBOX,

If you need to set up a Reply-To header, put it in the customized-hdrs
entry:

# Add these customized headers (and possible default values) when
# composing
customized-hdrs=Reply-To: Your Name <[email-masked]>

your inbox-configuration should be (with changes to actual values):
{your.school.addr/user=your_username_on_school}inbox
