Perhaps you need to set visible_name to pobox.com, assuming that's the dialup
ISP you're using. My understanding, for what it's worth, is that smail will
default to your machine's name in lieu of a visible_name value.
Check the archives of this list for this month and last month. There's been a
tremendous amount of discussion of all this stuff.
