The response from 'rabtrs' bounced (due to problems with udenva's sendmail
related to uuxmail/pathalias, udenva!uucp gets the failed mail messages for
any mail that goes through udenva before it failed; the bounce itself is *NOT*
udenva's problem, though).  I would put the appropriate headers in this,
but I deleted the bounced message thinking it was a problem with rabtrs's
mailer, even though the error was nearly identical to that Greg posted.
One reason that I thought it was a problem at rabtrs is that udenva also
responded, through hao, *AND IT HASN'T BOUNCED YET*.  udenva is rabtrs's
only news feed (well, it's more complicated than that, but you get the idea).
Since udenva's reply would have been several hours sooner than rabtrs's
but later than hao's by as much as a day, something very strange is going
on.  Does hao run pathalias on such mail ?  udenva does, and I believe
rabtrs does also.
