We recently installed smail 2.5 on our machine and noticed that none
of our installed mailers recognize the "From" address any longer.

Smail prepends the message with headers reflecting the transport
mechanism, ie:uucp etc.  It also seems to stick a ">" in front of
the actual From.

We are running Xenix SVR2.2 our mailers are the svbinmail which
comes with smail, the lmail (original Xenix bsd'ish mailer),
mush and elm 1.5.  

NONE OF THEM SEE THE REAL "FROM"  They all report the incoming 
mail from uucp.

I seem to remember seeing a similar posting a month or so ago,
but saw no replies on the net.  I've spoken to others who seem
to remember similar problems which went away somehow!

HELP!!

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
