I have a legitimate question concerning netmail and JamNNTPd.
Setting up JB's program is pretty much straightforward.
However, when trying to use a fake name with netmail, it
does not seem to work as it should. Does that mean that
those who chose to use JB's program must use their real
name to send/receive netmail?
Jamnntpd users file has the 5th field which is used for sending/reading private netmail messages. It may contain multiple names to receive netmail, but the first name is always used for outbound.

# User configuration file for JamNNTd
#
# Syntax:
#
# <username> <password> <readgroups> <postgroups> [<realnames>]
#
# "*" means "all groups" and "-" means "no groups".
#
# Optionally, you can also specify one or more "real" names for the user.
# Multiple names are separated by a comma. It is necessary to supply
# realnames if you want to use JamNNTPd with netmail as users can only read
# netmails to or from one of these names. It is possible to use the "?"
# and "*" wildcards in the realnames.
#
# It it also only possible for a user to cancel messages that were written
# by a name that matches their realnames.
#
# When a user posts a message, the first realname is used as the from name
# unless it contains wildcards. If the first realname contains wildcards or
# if no realnames are supplied, the from name is taken from the From: header
# line of the posted message.
#
# If you use non-ascii characters in the realname, they should be in the
# character set used on the NNTP side, most often iso-8859-1.
