Because they're using 'rmail' as the mail delivery agent, either because /bin/mail is a link to Mail/mailx and it screws up headers, or they're running Xenix and haven't been able to figure out that the mailer to use is /usr/lib/mail/execmail (!). rmail assumes that its input is from another site. If that's not true, it uses the name 'somewhere'. You should be able to deal with this just by removing the 'somewhere!'. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' Ferranti International Controls Corporation.
