Subject: X-sender mail headers

I have pine 3.91 installed on a Solaris 2.5.1 server.  The pine client is
creating a userid@host X-sender header for all outgoing e-mail.  Can
anyone tell me how to prevent the creation of X-sender mail headers? 

					Thanks

I believe the sender field is created by your mail server (sendmail).  If
you have root access to the machine, you can send mail as root, and it
should trust you.  Otherwise, it's there as a security feature - you can't
get rid of it - that is the point... :)
