hi,
i set up mutt getmail and msmtp to retrieve pop mail from my univeristies
server. everthing works out fine except that it appears as if the mailis
coming from vladuz976 at box.myhome.westell.com instead of from
ericdan at ucla.edu. vladuz976 is my username on my box and box is my hostname
on my computer, westell is the router i use.
where can i change that to my server's username and domain?
thanks.
