My wife has a couple different domain names and consequently a couple
different maildrops. I'm thinking of setting up an SSH server, fetchmail
and a command line mail program so she can check/send email remotely
from these multiple accounts. Is there a program that can handle this?
Pine wants to do <username>(a)whatever-domain-you-put-in-the-config.com.
I'd like her to be able to choose the from address, kind of like you can
in Evolution, Outlook, and other gui email programs. Any ideas?

There is a patch for Pine[1] out there that allows you th change the From: at
compose time. You could also create different "roles" --I think that's the
way
they call it on Pine--, one per domain. Or... you could use Mutt (my favorite)

Pine can do this with 'Roles' ( menu -> setup -> rules -> roles )
1. They can be set up - so that based on the mail header info
'to/from' etc.. you can set different 'from' address / smtp server etc
- for the reply e-mail.
2. When composing a new e-mail - the correct role can be choosen using '#'

mutt can, just edit your .muttrc to include sendhooks based on who you
are sending to.
# Change settings based upon message recipient
#
# send-hook [!]<pattern> <command>
#
# <command> is executed when sending mail to an address matching
<pattern>
#send-hook mutt- 'set signature=~/.sigmutt; my_hdr From: Mutt User
<user(a)example.com>'
send-hook superman.net my_hdr From: Jay Daniels <jay(a)superman.net>
send-hook info.net my_hdr From: Jay Daniels <jay(a)info.net>
send-hook cooking.net my_hdr From: Jay Daniels <drs(a)cooking.net>
send-hook themess.com my_hdr From: Jay Daniels <themess(a)themess.net>
send-hook -list my_hdr From: Jay Daniels <me(a)thelistaddress.com>
note: addresses changed.
So if sending To anybody(a)info.net mutt inserts Jay Daniels <jay(a)info.net>
as my from address, etc.
May not be easy to teach her how to use mutt though. It seems more
difficult than pine to newbies, but all you really need to do is
configure the .muttrc file. If you use emacs as your editor in mutt,
you need to configure a .emacs file too. The standard editor in mutt
is vi, so she would have to know either vi or emacs.
If you run a web server, you could setup squirrelmail much easier and
the squirrelmail interface handles multiple addresses or aliases.
Squirrelmail would read her mail from her account on the mail server which
you used fetchmail to get her mail. Squirrelmail can also get her
mail from all those accounts if you do not want to use fetchmail.

It's not a cli program, but I figured I would mention that squirrelmail
can do this. I'm pretty sure it's included with FC1, too. You can
actually set up multiple "identities" and then pick whatever one you want
out of a drop down box. Squirrelmail is web-based e-mail, just in case
you didn't know that.

Sorry to reply to the wrong message, but I don't have the original...
In Pine you can set up roles. They can have different from-addresses. You can
set up rules which would pre-select a role, but you can alway pick one
yourself.

In my opinion Mutt is the best solution. Easy to set this up within its
config for multiple boxes.

Pardon my intrusion Aaron. But I'm curious...
Normally I'm a pine user who hasn't yet bothered with "Roles" which is
supposed to be able to do what the OP wanted. But what I've read about
pines roles says that currently it not only can change the "From:"
address, based on selected role, but can even change which SMTP server to
send the reply with...
What I'd like to know, is can Mutt's multiple mailbox config set
different SMTP's for each box?

I've hunted arround for a couple of days trying to figure this out
about mutt (I was contemplating on switching - as everyone appears to
claim mutt is so great)..
The only text I managed to find is something like: "Mutt is not an MTA
- use a proper one!" i.e sendmail/postifx.
So one needs to configure these ones - and I couldn't easily figure
out how to setup these guys with contex base relay-host-hops (with
smtp auth). In a way - the MTA programs are proper SMTP protocol
implemnetations - and there is no requirement of multiple relays or
smtp-auth stuff (except that spam/other filters on the remote site
might encorce these rules) So I gave up and stuck it out with pine..
I could be wrong - I hope other mutt users can enlight me as well, on
this one.

You can "change role" so to speak and set custom settings depending on
the current mailbox you have setup. You can look over my config if you
like @ http://mindstorm.ath.cx:8080/configs/muttrc, keep in mind i can
make it all look a lot prettier and get rid of some redundancy, but it
will show you one of the ways it can be done.
If there are any other Q's just ask, i will answer asap (usually within
2 days) :)
