Erg.
Pine has the ability to set cannot-be-overridden variables in
a top level config file. If all else fails, I can prevent people
from setting user-domain.
..in fact, I won't have time to do more than this before the weekend.
Should I, though? I can force everyone's email address to be
in the form "@mit.edu", but this prevents people from sending
email as "@machine.mit.edu". (Setting user-domain to something
in the mit.edu domain still lets mail get through.)
On the guess that this is better than silently dropping people's
mail, I've gone ahead and created /mit/sipb/share/pine.conf.fixed,
which will force people's user-domain to be "mit.edu". It will
be visible with the next sipb locker release; there's still a little
time to either (1) speed it up, or (2) undo it.
