Subject: header question:

I noticed that on some systems, typically Solaris, Pine seems to insert the
following header:

X-Authentication-Warning: 
     somehost.somedomain.com: someuser owned process doing -bs

What exactly does this mean, what does this do? and is it caused by compiling
PINE with a certain parameter?

thanks in adavance!

AFAICT, it's caused by setting user-domain in S)etup C)onfig (2nd line).
This is usually set if your email address' domain is different from your
machine's domain. (Like mine, but i hack sendmail.cf)

I used to get this but it went away after I hacked (more like 'slashed
blindly at') sendmail.cf and reset user-domain.

That is being inserted by the sendmail on your system. By default,
sendmail thinks it should add that if you execute sendmail with the
"-bs" argument, which pine does by default. (Why that should cause an
authentication warning I don't know.) You can make it go away by adjusting
PrivacyOptions in sendmail.cf. Or you can make pine access sendmail
differently. If you have an smtp daemon running on your localhost you can
add smtp-server=localhost in Setup/Config. Or you could use a different
smtp server.
