First you should create an account for you instead of using the root
account. You have probably heard this before, but you need to do it in
order for your mail to work correctly.
Second once you have created the account, log on as that user, run pine,
and then quit pine. You should now have a .pinerc file in your home
directory. Edit this file (with vi or your favorite editor), and where is
says : user-domain=
put in your domain as you want it to appear, ie magic.fr
One last thing, make sure the account you create, has the same name as the
email address you want to us, ie. zokiphoto
Hope this helps...
