The
.B \-msgid
.B post
constructs the \*(lqFrom:\*(rq line of the
message from the user's login name, the full name from the GECOS field of the
-passwd file, and the fully\-qualified name of the local machine (or the
-value of
-\*(lqlocalname\*(rq in
-.IR mts.conf ,
-if set). An example is \*(lqFrom: Dan Harkless
+passwd file, and the fully\-qualified name of the local machine.
+An example is \*(lqFrom: Dan Harkless
<dan@machine.company.com>\*(rq. There are four ways to override these values,
however. Note that they apply equally to \*(lqResent\-From:\*(rq lines in messages sent
with
account, or when remote email robots give improper precedence to the envelope
\*(lqFrom:\*(rq. Note that your MTA may still reveal your real identity (e.g.
.BR sendmail 's
-\*(lqX\-Authentication\-Warning:\*(rq header).
+\*(lqX\-Authentication\-Warning:\*(rq header).

-.PP
-If
-.B nmh
-has been compiled with SASL support, the
-.B \-sasl
-switch will enable
-the use of SASL authentication with the SMTP MTA. Depending on the
-SASL mechanism used, this may require an additional password prompt from the
-user (but the
-.RI \*(lq \&.netrc \*(rq
-file can be used to store this password).
-.B \-saslmech
-switch can be used to select a particular SASL mechanism,
-and the the
-.B \-user
-switch can be used to select a authorization userid
-to provide to SASL other than the default.
-.PP
-If SASL authentication is successful,
-.BR nmh
-will attempt to negotiate a security layer for session encryption.
-Encrypted data is labelled with `(encrypted)' and `(decrypted)' when
-viewing the SMTP transaction with the
-.B \-snoop
-switch.
