There's a patch for that,
http://www.math.washington.edu/~chap.../outgoing.html

but piping

cat << EOF
From: lala@example.com
To: dest@domain
Subject: lala

text body
EOF

to sendmail -t is more handy imo. Otherwise there's also
echo "body text" | mail -s "subject" dest@domain.tld also

Thank you very much!

I already thought that it would be more natural to do it with
sendmail, but I am a little confused of configuring sendmail to
use an external smtp server and I don't know why it fails sending my
emails directly without relaying.
I'll try the patch and will also try out if "mail" is easier to
configure then sendmail.

We are talking about a M*U*A (Mail *User* Agent). Are we?

Pine is a MUA is a MUA is a MUA.

Use "sendmail" or "mail" or something comparable instead.
