Well, if we stick to facts, my machine has not generated "seismo"
in a return address for at least 2 years. Probably closer to 3. It has
been seismo.css.gov since about June 1985 and seismo.ARPA for at
least a year before that.

If you were replying to mail, it must have been over 2 years old. Or,
you didn't notice the return address change in over 2 years. Or, your
local system is incorrectly butchering the return address.

It was hardly "all of a sudden".

How many years are obsolete addresses supposed to be supported?
