Well, I've had all sorts of problems getting to sites at WU, and have gotten
the most amazing bounces from wuarchive and nearby sites. I suspect that they,
or someone topologically close to them, is a liberal header rewriter.

Also, texbell.lonestar.org tends to create fictional From: lines. This seems
to be due to a piece of excessive RFC-ishness in smail 3.0 alpha. If you ever
get weird mail with my signature from texbell!Postmaster, that's what happened.
