I have been getting this ever since my system has been online (about 2 years).
And I do not even have the tcp module installed.  Just running basic mail 
does this.  When I enter mailx, it shows me that all my mail is either from
"root", "uucp", or "jep" (jep is my login).  On other systems that I have 
accounts on, when I enter mailx it shows me who sent me the mail.




HELP!
