Message-ID: <585@unisv.UUCP> Date: 26 Aug 88 00:49:53 GMT Reply-To: vanpelt@unisv.UUCP (Mike Van Pelt) Organization: Unisys Silicon Valley, San Jose, CA Lines: 12 Why do some sites put a site of "somewhere" in their return paths to mail? Just to gratuitously break the "Reply" command? An example, I sent a message to foo@cam.mit.edu, and his reply to me arrived with a from address of cam.mit.edu!somewhere!foo. I didn't notice, and my reply bounced back because cam.mit.edu didn't know about the site "somewhere". Arf. -- "I hate trolls.
