The Unix way (i.e. the "right" way) is to fix this in your MTA. I mean,
what if you sent some mail using the "mail" utility instead of using
Mutt? Then the mail would have the wrong return address on it. But if
you fix sendmail so that any time it sees mail going out with the name
"lee3", and it changes it to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", then things will
always work the way you want them to.
Of course, this is not the easiest thing to do, so most people just try
to ignore it. But it *is* the right solution.

If you want to go that way, you can add your user id to the list of
"trusted" users in the sendmail.cf file. It will get rid of the
warning.

Isn't there a pop_delete variable that affects this?
