This showed up on the list a few days back. You don't have to do anything with sendmail. You can set a default From: header in the pine config; if you get a message when sending mail saying you're not allowed to change From, you may also need to set a config option to allow changing from. See http://www.washington.edu/pine/faq/config.html#9.5 and the link at the bottom of that section. Rahul.
