Yes! I have a similar problem here; Pine (when I use it) assumes that
since I am user james on machine dax.joh.cam.ac.uk, my e-mail address
MUST be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" - which it isn't.
Just set the "user-domain" value in the configuration, provided the
username is correct. If the username is different as well, it's a bit
more difficult, but you don't suggest that's the case?
James.
