Ok, my Linux login name is peter and my e-mail login mail is pfheiss. Now if I
receive mail fetchmail wants to put it to pfheiss and since it can not find
the name it bounces causing quite some annoyances like cutting me off from
this list. I put pfheiss now into /etc/passwd and all the mail flows nicely
now to /var/spool/mail/pfheiss.
If I send mail, pine and exmh will put FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of
FROM:pfheiss@.... unless I edit in /etc/passwd peter to ....false.
May be I made something wrong somewhere.
Regards
Peter
