Some sites believe that ANYTHING coming in via UUCP must have a bang
path. For example, my outgoing mail leaves killer with this header.

From: Bill Wisner <wisner@killer.dallas.tx.us>

If I send mail to a mailing list, and get a copy back, it often looks
like this:

From: Bill Wisner <foo!bar!gronk!killer.dallas.tx.us!wisner>

As far as I'm concerned, this is EVIL and RUDE. killer.dallas.tx.us
is a perfectly valid domain name, known to UUCP routers and to MX
mailers. IT SHOULD *NOT* BE CONVERTED INTO A BANG PATH!

And while I'm bitching about misbehaving mailers, remind me to
tell you about mcvax sometime..
