OK...

Here's a problem I'm having with email.  I'm trying to get Mutt running on
my system, but I'm having a bit of a problem, and I seem to actually be
having the problem in Pine as well with less impact.  Here's the deal:

As a dialup user, I of course don't have a static domain name, so I just
use a dummy domain name ("dallas") for my home network.  My laptop,
therefore is ibook.dallas.  

I have several POP accounts ([EMAIL PROTECTED], my "real" email address
for my ISP - [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.).  When I compose email, I set
the "From" address appropriately, and send the email.  The problem is that
my machine (don't know if it's my MUA or Postfix, which I use as the MTA
for outgoing mail) sets the email "envelope" (and the X-Sender field as
well) to say that the mail is from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"  Some email
servers are apparently rejecting this as an invalid domain name (and
rightly so).

So the question IS, how the heck do I set this up right?  I consider
myself an "advanced newbie", but I'm stumped on this one.  :)
