You should take this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] IMAP and SMTP aren't really
related. But in brief, you can try a) setting "envelope_from", and
setting from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]", or b) installing nullmailer or ssmtp
to hand off to your ISP, and adjusting the "sendmail" variable to point
to whichever of these programs you use.
