Thanks for the reply. This of course works but isn't what I was asking about.
Also, it the above now requires you to reset the various SMTP-related variables
if moving between multiple IMAP accounts in a single mailx session. That seems
to be what the ..-user <at> host= variables are for. And they work for IMAP, just
not for SMTP, at least not in the way I'm interpreting the manpage. To quote
from mailx(1):
...
smtp-auth
Sets the SMTP authentication method. If set to `login',
or if unset and smtp-auth-user is set, AUTH LOGIN is
used. If set to `cram-md5', AUTH CRAM-MD5 is used; if
set to `plain', AUTH PLAIN is used. Otherwise, no SMTP
authentication is performed.
smtp-auth-user <at> host
Overrides smtp-auth for specific values of sender
addresses, depending on the from variable.
...
The IMAP-related vars are described similarly and work as described, so I don't
think I'm misinterpreting the manpage.
Per the previous reply, I tried explicitly setting 'from' with the same result:
the ..-user <at> host vars get set but not used. I've poked around some in the code
but I'm not very proficient in C and nothing stands out WRT patching.
