You definitely *do* want to keep your Adelphia role for 
situations when you need to use that address in your From 
header. But you need to understand this:

 Your Adelphia role will work only when Adelphia is your IAP (*)


Here's what I recommend you do with that role.

1] Run 'pine' on titan.

2] Type 'MSRR' (Main > Setup > Rules > Roles).

3] Use your arrow keys to select your Adelphia role.

4] Type 'C' (Change).

5] Change the Nickname (the first line) so the value is 
something like this:

     beartooth (AT) adelphia.net [do not use on pine on Lserv]

Make sure that the role includes both your Adelphia address 
(replace ' (AT) ' with '@') and the text '[do not use on pine on 
titan]'. This text will remind you that this role does not work 
everywhere. You can, of course, specify whatever reminder text 
you want.

6] Move down the screen to this setting:

     Use SMTP Server =

Please copy & paste this SMTP Server line into a reply to this 
message.

7] Save your changes.


After I learn what is specified as the SMTP Server for that 
role, I will continue walking you through setting up and testing 
this role.


(*) IAP means Internet Access Provider and is the provider of 
your "pipe" to the Internet. When you are running pine on titan, 
the IAP for *that* pine is Lserv. Any interaction between that 
pine and the Internet is done through the Lserv "pipe." When you 
are running pine on one of your local computers, your IAP is 
Adelphia. You will only be able to use your Adelphia role from 
your local computers.
