ppp & mail



     So I'm very proud of myself.  I finally took the time to set up PPP.
     After reading every document I could find, I ran ppp-setup (Slackware 
     4.0) and it took care of everything.
     
     Now I can get my mail from school with fetchmail.  Very straight 
     forward.  I type fetchmail and the name of the mail server and like 
     magic, my mail comes into my machine.
     
     Sending mail, however, is not so smooth.  Mail leaves my box with the 
     machine name and no domaine.  
     
     I would like to send my mail from my machine, but through my school 
     account.  I hear people in Mac and Windows world do this all the time 
     with Outlook and Eudora, etc.  I like Pine.  Can I send my mail back 
     through my mail server at school, so I become 
     pfarrar at lynx.dac.neu.edu, instead of pfarrar at box ?
     
     Thank you,
     Peter
