Back in December, I was getting bounces from the following path:

	lsuc!utai!watmath!alberta!oha!tony

oha was bouncing back "can't send to .tony" (I *think*).  Didn't
get any response from watmath by posting/mailing about it at the time  
other than from Rayan saying "it's watmath" twice.  (quite literally,
those were the only two words in his mail messages).  I had done some
testing and it appeared that watmath was doing it, alberta's log appeared
to show that it arrived with the mangulation in the uux command line.

There was some discussion in comp.mail.uucp or comp.sendmail or something
about a bug in sendmail header handling with "From:" lines.  I misremember
the details....

I'm sending a new test right now to see if it still happens and I'll send
you the header if it happens again.
