A more general solution that will fix things globally for all users of
your machine is in the attached sendmail-masq-add.mc file.  Just
install and modify it and sendmail.mc, as directed in the commentary,
and install a new sendmail.cf, also as directed.  Then sendmail will
use your ISP as a smarthost, and will masquerade, or in other words,
rewrite, all user's outgoing mail addresses with your ISP's domain
name (From: username@ISP_name.net).  You may find it easiest to use
identical usernames on your ISP's mailhost and your local host (but
fetchmail can rewrite/redirect the names for you -- see below).

By far the best pop mail utility available anywhere is "fetchmail",
the very well known open source bazaar project by Eric Raymond (you'll
want to read one or more of his history making essays about this),
which should be on your system, or the install disk.  It will do just
about anything you want, using any mail protocol your ISP provides: I
wish my ISP offered the secure imap protocol, for instance.  Pop3
doesn't even encrypt your password -- it goes over the internet in
clear text, so make sure you don't use the same password for anything
else important, if you're stuck with pop3.

Anyway, fetchmail delivers through sendmail (and on RedHat and many
other linux systems, sendmail delivers through procmail, where you can
automatically filter, scan, and sort it), and you read the result
normally using any of several textmode clients, such as pine, elm, or
mutt, or even in emacs (emacspeak).

Best wishes, LCR

People buy MicroShaft for compatibility, but get incompatibility and
instability instead.  This is award winning "innovation".  Find
