I do apologise, I mailed after deleting them, hence, I didn't have your address. > No, I did not choose the hostname for my laptop. The COSC programmers > choose it for me.

In a way, yes. because exim on your host is passing the mail on. Quick fix: add your username to the "trusted_users" directive in exim.conf, and tell pine to not add a Sender: header. (if pine doesnt, exim will, if you're not 'trusted') (I'm partially guilty, it turns out that it was fetchmail using the Sender: header as the originating address for the MAIL FROM: SMTP command..)

Not to split straws here, but yes, I know that. I think you're trying to say that the hostname is *not* part of the domain name? (which is correct...) For example, for foo.bar.com, foo is the hostname, bar.com is the domain name, and foo.bar.com is the fqdn. Right, I've done enough cat+pidgeon stirring this week, I'll shut up now.
