I connect to the internet using my school PPP account which gives me a user name not very close to my real name and chose to use my first name to logon to my personal linux box. I would like to send email but have it come from my school email name and not my localhost name. I have already managed (using smail/mailx) to have the @hostname field changed but mail still comes from jason rather than jbi130 (my email username).
To fix this I have starting using pine, I start it using sudo as user jbi130 on my home system but these becomes a pain (as far as file permissions) are concerned when add folders and deleting stuff and so on. Is there a better way to go about this. I use fetchmail ro retrieve from my POP3 server but I don't think this has any effect on the sending of the mail. Would a better solution maybe to sart using mh and exmh? Thanks for any help. Jason Ish [EMAIL PROTECTED]
