I belive pine tells your email address useing your login name @ the domain name set in the first page of the setup-config options. If your ISP hasn't fixed the domain name, you can change it to be an anti-spam address. To my knowlege, you can not change the first part of the from address in pine, just the domain name, without some work. Actually, I belive you can make it so you can change it by recompileing it with a few changes, fairly eaisly. After re-compileing it with it set to allow those headers to be changed, you will need to add the From: and Sender: headers to the custom header list.

(But I can't seem to change the e-mail address at the top of the page.
Pls/ Somebody help me. I am using "Pine" on NSCA Telnet.
: If your ISP hasn't fixed the domain name, you can change it to be an
: anti-spam address.
Just be careful what you send out still arrives at the destination.
I tried doing this, and found out a few days later none of the mail I was
sending was getting through to people. Turns out the system had been set
up to toast anything being sent that didn't have the system's domain name,
to prevent people from using it to funnel spam on to the 'net from other
accounts. And, no warning messages were returned to let me know the
letters weren't being sent. I was not a happy camper when I found out.
So, if you change the domain name, send a test message or two
and make sure they get through.
