If you are running exim: Look at the '/etc/email-addresses' file and make sure your local address is mapped to your email address. If you are running postifix For the Etch version: Look at the generic.db setting For the Sarge version: Look at the canonical.db setting This question comes up from time to time and from what I've gleaned it is not the MUA's problems, IOW you shouldn't have to 'set envelope_from' (in mutt eg.).
