My login@fqdn is "barry@ecube.local". The closest thing to a local mail address is my pop server address "barry_fishman@att.net". I connect to the internet using a PPP connection PAP authentication with a variety of addresses. At the moment I'm at "12.78.17.131", but this varies each call and is probably bogus anyway. I send mail by direct smtp connection to mailhost.att.net. So what would be my properly configured sender address? How could I fix my configuration to have one? Please be specific. My gut feeling is that it is up to the smtp server on mailhost.att.net to provide it. In this case I need to prevent gnus from creating one even though my "From:" address does not match my login@fqdn address. Presently I am just doing a: ;; Fix message send address (I don't have a real hostname (defun message-make-sender () "Return own mail address as sender" (message-make-address)) Barry Fishman
