Hi: I usually define my from address in pine using roles. This allows you to have a list of from addresses to choose from, nice if you have local users you want to be able to send mail to. Also, the domain thing is only any good if your local and ISP user ID are the same, which they aren't for me at least. Also note that, for some ISPs at least, setting your from address will not be sufficient, you will have to configure your mail transport agent to put this address in other header fields so that your ISP thinks it came from them.
