The two simtel20 listservers insist on sending answers to the address
in the official From: header in your mail request.  If your mailer is
putting an unusable address there, then the "network gods that are
snarling at" you work for Network Equipment Technologies.  There are
many gracious people on the various comp.mail.* and news.* groups who
continually help people fix their broken mailers.

With a name like Network Equipment Technologies it would look better
if the mail you sent on the network conformed to spec.
