so there's you're problem. just set it to the from address value
you use in pine and everything should/could be fine. 
if that's not enough to make your provider's mail server happy,
then you could dig deeper into emacs or configure your sendmail
to rewrite envelope sender addresses. i can help you with 
emacs, but not with sendmail (i'm using exim).
