Have you tried http://www.mutt.org ? I found most of what I learned
there.

As far as I know, mutt doesn't do that. You could try to install a dummy
SMTP server on your machine that relays your e-mail to another SMTP
server. But FreeBSD has sendmail (or Postfix) installed, so why bother?

As to the return address:
set from = "Rogier Steehouder <r.j.s@gmx.net>"
gives the right one. (If you check the mail-headers of this message, it
should be clear the mail originated on ...kabel.utwente.nl, not ...gmx.net)

I have the following:
macro index \ef "<tag-pattern>~f freebsd-questions-request@spitfire.velocet.net\n<tag-prefix><save-message>+FreeBSD\ny<untag-pattern>~A\n$" "Filter FreeBSD Messages"
It's not automatic, I have to press <esc>f, but when I tried to make it
automatic through a folder-hook, it started giving errors when there was
no mail from the list, so I changed to using a key sequence.

http://www.mutt.org had some listed, last time I checked.

with kind regards, Rogier Steehouder
