It seems that any mail which goes through 'ucbvax', 'decvax', 'cbosg', 'ihnss' and a number of other places winds up with bogus addresses of the following form: From: tektronix!ucbcad!burl!lda@floyd.uucp (This is presumably ucbcad!floyd!burl) I can sometimes figure out how to return mail to these people, but my mailer completely throws up, generating To: tektronix!ucbcad!burl!lda at FLOYD.UUCP which doesn't work at all. I have no idea what the path to these people are: From: tektronix!ucbcad!harpo!hou5f!dmk@decvax.uucp From: teklabs!decvax!ucbvax!inuxc!nwuxc!otuxa!jlc@ihnss.uucp From: tektronix!teklabs!ucbvax!rvax.mailer-daemon@unmvax.uucp These are not the worst. I have gotten messages with two or more '@' in them, and messages with random mixtures of '@' and '!', e.g. 'teklabs!ucbvax!person@site1!site2@decvax.uucp' This is hopeless. Any suggestions? S.
