You can probably modify the "Hikaru" Not sure this is helpful, but for years I've hidden my actual host I send mail from which is unix.hobbeshollow.com by putting the following entries in my mts.conf localname: hobbeshollow.com masquerade: draft_from mmailid username_extension This allows me to send email as [email protected]. hobbeshollow.com is my domain. I pay a 3rd party to connect for my outbound mail from hobbeshollow.com a nominal fee annually because ATT turned off that capability about 18 months ago. > David > > https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2021-03/msg00012.html > jerry -- // Jerry Heyman | The first law of economics is scarcity of // Amigan Forever :-) | resources.
