Java pine username return address

hello all
I am happily using pine but unhappily sending email as username@where.my.mail.works
instead of ****@my.college.edu
well, my username on my computer is one thing, but my username on my college account (**** here) is different.

what I'm trying to do is use the college server for sending mail,
but when I do that (set up sendmail using mailconf, anyone want to help me out there? it takes about 5 minutes to start sendmail) and set up the user-domain and smtp server in pine, my reply address is not what I want, it's the right server, but the wrong username.
is there some way to send email *as* someone else? would I have to set up a new user with the username I want??? it seems to me that there must be some way of using pine ..........
or is my question about sendmail???
anyway, help!
thanks

NAME

msg2smtp -h HOST [-p PORT] [-e HELO_DOMAIN] [-U USERNAME] [-P PASSWORD] [-m MECHANISM] [-d] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the msg2smtp command. msg2smtp is a program that takes a mail message on STDIN and relays it to an SMTP server. MUA (Mutt) --> msg2smtp.pl --> Anubis --> remote or local MTA This can be used whenever you want to convert a mail message on STDIN and talk to an SMTP server as output. Just like sendmail do. If you want to use this script with Mutt, add this to Mutt configuration file: set sendmail="/PATHTO/msg2smtp.pl -h localhost" If you run GNU Anubis on port 4000, you would put this line in your muttrc: set sendmail="/PATHTO/msg2smtp.pl -h localhost -p 4000" OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below: -h HOST hostname of SMTP server, often 'localhost', -p PORT port of the SMTP server, -e HELO_DOMAIN domain we use when to say helo to smtp server, -U USERNAME ESMTP auth username, -P PASSWORD ESMTP auth password, -m MECHANISM ESMTP auth mechanism - default is PLAIN, -d shows SMTP conversation and perl debugging.
