Lines: 20 Now I have a question. Presently when we receive UUCP mail, the routing stamps (the "From_" lines at the front that are put on when an rmail receives a UUCP message, and which functionally are somewhat analogous to postal backstamps) have quite a wide variety of syntaxes. We presently produce a "From:" line here from these stamps, since they tend to have a much higher probability of being correct than do the From: lines that have been Mung'ed by Sendmail. However, the Sendmail sites still make many unusual transformations on the From_ lines. Could someone summarize the conventions presently in use for generating From_ lines at Sendmail sites? Why do some of these have @'s in them? -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
