Subject: SCO Xenix site lets loose internal aliases, how do I rewrite them?

A local site running SCO Xenix's standard mailer leaves local aliases in the
header and does not attach its own system name to them.  This causes me quite
a bit of grief when I try to reply to mail from this site (especially since
the person who usually sends the mail send to me via an alias, and it ends up
in the Cc: list and bounces but good).

How would I arrange for my sendmail.cf to rewrite these messages as they come
in so that the aliases get the offending system's name attached to them?  Or
should I just try to get the other system upgraded to a real mailer?  (Ncoast
is SCO Xenix, but I replaced it with sendmail/smail; the stupid "execmail"
program is no longer executed at all.)

Please reply via mail:  news is still a bit flaky here.  (aargh....)

Thanks in advance.
