Several postings from Mitel in Ottawa have been creeping out with
bogus return addresses.  The most recent was this in can.general:

If I was to reply to "user@spock" from UofT, I would get the following path
from the database from utai:
	neat.cs.toronto.edu!uunet!kddlab!spock.csl.sony.jp
which is on the wrong side of the planet.

The map entry for "spock" is different:
#N	spock
#S	DEC VAX-11/750; 4.3 BSD UNIX
#O	Choate Rosemary Hall
#C	Joel Slotkin
#E	spock!usenet
#T	+1 203 269 7722 x514, +1 203 284 5514
#P	P.O. Box 788, Wallingford, Connecticut  06492
#L	41 27 N / 72 50 W
#R	a student-run high school computer center
#U	yale

Perhaps the Mitel people can get things sorted out?  Choosing a unique
site name and entering it in the maps would fix things quite a bit.
