Subject: pine - bounce command

We are currently using Pine, version 3.91 on a UNIX platform. We cannot 
get the bounce command to work. It remails the message back to the 
"bouncer" and not to the intended receiver. 

I would be grateful for suggestions on how to get bounce to work. Thanks!

Your problem is almost certainly caused by the defective sendmail front-
end emulation of the MMDF mail router package used by your SCO system
(it's vital to know what flavor of UNIX you're using with problems like
these. the message ID suggests you're running SCO UNIX).

You may not have noticed yet, but another problem is that the addresses
specified in blind-carbon-copy field (bcc:) will become quite visible to
each recipient (oops!). 

SCO's SMTP gateway does a much better job in handling both options. 
Simply change the "smtp-server" option in the setup configuration screen
into "localhost" (it ought to be set to "<No Value Set>" now). This does
require that your system has TCP/IP configured.

Good luck!

Kind regards,

- Richard Gering.

P.S.  Why not upgrade to Pine 3.96 in the process?
