volcano is MXed to ocf, and ocf cheerfully bounces mail to
leslie@volcano.berkeley.edu.  I know that Berkeley has serious YP
strangeness, but this is really getting out of hand.  I feel
really sorry for the dozens of people that spend a great deal of
time composing detailed, informative messages only to have them
come back undelivered.  Not only is their time wasted, but YOU
don't get helped.

In this recent posting to n.a.n, the explicit Reply-To: gives a
machine that doesn't exist at all.  In this case, the author's
mailbox is actually sdu7408@cec2.wustl.edu.  The Sender: line
is invalid, BTW.  Headers aren't all comments, guys--they're
supposed to be functional.  (You don't get helped either.)
