Short answer: no. This is one of the many reasons I think a new mailer is needed for dailup addresses. However, if smail is handed a from address (either by the SMTP "MAIL FROM:" command or by the "-f" or "-r" option to the senmail command), smail will use that address. Therefore it may be perfectly possible to convince your MUA to hand smail a from address. One thing I'm also doing is rewriting my smail config file each time ppp goes up so that my visible_name is set to the current value (e.g. ppp75.hcf.jhu.edu); this value is also stored in /etc/mailname. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
