We are running a pretty much stock 4.3BSD.

When I send mail via SMTP, the From line looks like:

	From dce@icky.Sony.COM  Thu Nov 30 13:56:58 1989

Also, we receive mail that looks like this from some sites,
though other sites (like UUNET) sends us mail with From
lines like:

	From hpda.hp.com!tnguyen  Thu Nov 30 16:51:37 1989 remote from uunet

For the first case, rmail generates something like

	From somewhere!dce@icky.Sony.COM ...

which is no good.  Our old sendmail config file actually strips the
"somewhere!" off.  Is this normal, or just a hack?

The second case above gets turned into

	From uunet!hpda.hp.com!tnguyen ...

It would be nice if it was instead turned into

	From tnguyen@hpda.hp.com

Can anyone point me in the right direction (besides smail, which I'd
prefer to stay away from right now).
