Howdy!

How do I force Pine to use a different config-file than it usually uses.
I want to use an other outgoing mailserver than the system uses for the
moment.

*argl* It's even in the man--page :-/

- -p config-file	Use config-file as the  personal  configuration file instead
                of the default pinerc.

see the Pine manual page.

For your specific case you might just want to use

pine -smtp-server=whatever.fi

You can also change this in Setup Config within pine.

However, if your administrators have made this a _fixed_ config 
option, you will not be able to override it with either method; the 
global config.fixed file always takes precedence.
