some email troubles

[Helge Hafting <helge@helgespc.debian.org>]

I use smail for sending, fetchmail for getting mail, and nmh+exmh
for reading/writing.  This works, but there are two small problems:

1.  I want the "from" address on the mail I send to be
    helge.hafting@domain rather than helge@domain.  Preferably
    without changing to a longer username.  I guess this will
    be in the nmh/exmh setup somewhere, haven't found it yet.

2.  Incoming mail is delayed.  This looks like a fetchmail problem.  
    Local mail (from me to me) is picked up by exmh within a minute
    as configured.  fetchmail is also set up for fetching every
    minute, so outside mail should take 2 minutes to show
    up in the worst case.  It is more like 15 minutes though.
    Waking up the fetchmail daemon by running "fetchmail"
    over and over doesn't help this.
