[plug] Why don't my messages get through?

[Andrew McMeikan]

Just a note on getting pine to set email address that your sending from.
You can set the user-domain parameter to report the appropriate right hand
side of the address, then just setup an account with the correct left hand
side and use this to send your mail from home, this should work ok
