Quite simple really. This small script will extract all
addresses for you in the type of file suitable for use
under mailx or for clipping into the script using send-
mail -t. Note: pine keeps all addresses in .addressbook
This acript will extract all addresses alone to a file
called pine.address.db.

for i in `cat .addressbook`; do
echo $i | grep "@" >> pine.address.db
done

What is your MTA ? You need to rewrite your aliases
file in /etc or /etc/mail (depending upon version) for
sendmail. It is to have a section like this at the end
of /etc/mail/aliases file:
# trap decode to catch security attacks
decode: root
bish: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
hsrai: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is assuming you have users on your box called
bish and hsrai, who would like to have their mails
go as e-mail ids as above, when they mail from their
own log-ins. root@domain will come when mailing with
root privileges or as "root" log-in.
Ofcourse, you will have to remake your alias.db for
sendmail, with the ususal m4 method. I am not very
sure of other MTAs ... others need to chip in here.

Yes, you can. Explicitly state From: in the header,
of the script I posted yesterday. viz:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cc:
Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Mail only for you
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sub : Locking a directory LOST #013
To "lock" a directory under your $HOME directory for privacy
of data, do:
$chmod 000 dir/ .... ["root" still has access though]
Changing permission to 000 even denies an ls to that dir by
all users. You need to do chmod 755 or 777 (for access).
