My guess is that the envelope from or envelope recipient are wrong.
You could look in the sendmail queue to compare the values for a
message from pine and a message from RMAIL.

(For each message, sendmail has a df file and a qf file, I believe,
and one of them contains the message body and the other contains the
metadata, including sender and recipient info.  The latter is in the
R lines, but I forgot about the former.)

sending mail

[Raimund.Kohl]

Hello,

I try using emacs as MUA. Reading mail with RMAIL is no problem. Neither
seems sending to be a problem. If I've sent a message I can see it with
mailq. But after having connected with the ISP the mails don't get
delivered. If I use the command sendmail -q the composed mails disappear
from the mailq but neither are they now delivered nor do they bounce back.
The just disappear. Is that an emacs problem? I am using emacs 21.1.1. on
SuSE 8.0 with postfix. Mailing with pine's just fine.
