Let me make my problem clear.
I have an account on yahoo.com. The user name there is yashgt. My user
name on my machine is pari . If I open Netscape mail client, I can specify
my SMTP server and POP server and the user name and password for connecting
to these servers. When I request, the client connects to the servers, sends
the messages that I have already written , through the SMTP server , i.e.
smtp.mail.yahoo.com. It also retrieves the mails others have left for me on
pop.mail.yahoo.com . This implies that the SMTP server of yahoo.com allows
users to remotely log in to the server and send messages, and Netscape is
such a client that passes the user name and password to the server for
logging in.
Now my requirement is that I should use a text based client, preferrably
Pine, to do whatever I am able to do using Netscape. Say I am not connected
to the internet. My machine is standalone. I write a number of messages in
Pine and invoke the send function. The messages will remain on my system as
I am not online. After I am done composing the messages, I want to dial up
my ISP. Once that is done, I want all the queued messages to go to the
intended destinations, but with the From address as yashgt@yahoo.com .This
is because my friends should be able to Reply to the message on the same
address. For this to be possible, the mails should go THROUGH the yahoo SMTP
server.
You see , this mail comes to you THROUGH yahoo server. If I had sent it
through my local mail server on Linux machine, and you Replied, it would
bounce back to you saying that it cannot be delivered because it cannot
identify my poor local machine.
I know I have to configure something. But is it Pine, or is it sendmail
? Which parameter ? I hope my problem is clear by now .
Awaiting your help,
Yash Ganthe
