A followup to this question:
Does Pine use the sendmail services for getting mail from the local box to
an ISP or mail server? If so, I fixed my version of that problem by editing
the DM line in sendmail.cf to reflect the proper reply and from addresses.
It now reads:
DM=probe.net
Now, when I send from Applixmail (which uses sendmail to transport the mail
from my local box to my ISP the from: line and the reply to: line read
tmolina@probe.net rather than
tmolina@wr5z, which is what my HOSTNAME is set to.
