Alpine Bounce uses wrong username

[Starl8gazer]

Hello,

A problem occurs when I try to bounce/ redirect an email in the
following config.

I have the username "uid_local" on my laptop. In my new employer's
network I have the username "uid_work". NB, "uid_local" and "uid_work"
are different. To read and send email I am using Alpine 2.00 on a Linux
OpenSuse 11.4 system. My ~/.pinerc has the following entry:

smtp-server=smtpsrv.[employer_domain]/user=uid_work/tls/NoValidate-Cert

Sending resp. forwarding email works well. Yet when trying to _bounce_ a
message, I get stuck with the following error message:

"Mail not sent: <uid_local@smtpsrv.[employer_domain]>: Sender address
rejected: User unknown in local recipient table"

Why does Alpine use uid_local instead of uid_work as specified in the
above smtp-server line? How can I get bounce to work? - I did find a
previous posting at
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.mail.pine/browse_thread/thread/be76c85191e74b6e/a0bcafe2e61acf65?lnk=gst&q=bounce#a0bcafe2e61acf65
. Unfortunately there was no reply there so I'm trying my luck here
and now, maybe 11 years later that issue has been resolved.

In your reply please be specific as I am usually a top-level user of
Linux, although I do have admin access on my laptop.

Thanks,

Hi there,

Just set up my alpine account at my new workplace and I encountered the same problem.

In case you hadn't found already yourself the solution is easy and can be found on the following wiki:

Look for the section:
