Summary: how do addressing and mailx work?


I am on a att pc type system running system 5.  The mailx is version 2.14,
dated 8/1/85.  When I try to respond to various email, I sometimes get
incorrect addresses generated by mailx.  For instance, addresses which
go a!b!a!b!c, or x!a!b where x knows nothing about a!b.  Any ideas on what
I could do AS A USER to get mailx to figure out a better path back?  The
system is running smail 2.5 and pathalias; is there no way to tell mailx
that so that he will throw away various prefix paths?  Thanks!
