Here's the problem: I set up the mail connection using fetchmail and sendmail as shown in FAQ 8.19. "How do I set up mail with a dialup connection to the 'net?". For details, see below. Until here, all is well and everything works as it should. The problem is my username at localhost and my email account name differ. How do I configure my computer so mail sent by user 'luser' will show as on the e-mail as it had been sent by 'luser-with-a-long-name'? I know I could create an account using the same name as my email provider, but I really prefer not to. Thanks for your attention -Christoph Sold P.S: Apologies for using Netscape -- It's the only mailer generating the correct return address right now.
