the main gateway is forwarding to your box. About the only way to fix
this (that I know of) is to change your actual box name (hostname) so that
it is really neutron.treklink.net, and remove the box from the
gatetech.edu dns server. The forwarding server is doing a reverse lookup
and coming up with a gatech.edu name instead of a treklink name.

pine can be told to change how it puts the return address in outgoing
mail. However, the best way is to change your host name so your hostname
really is neutron.treklink.net, and a reverse dns looks it up to be that
