### I recently received these two messages in, and while the "received by" 
### sequences look fine, the "From" ! path looks mighty weird. Could someone
### explain to me what causes this? Why would a machine that's only seen 
### a mail message once show up multiple times in the "From: line?

### Thanks in advance!

### The two "From:" lines are:

From: relay.cs.toronto.edu!uunet!amc-gw!uunet!watmath!amc.com!phyllis@watmath (Phyllis Rostykus)
