Now I have a question.
Presently when we receive UUCP mail, the routing stamps (the "From_" lines
at the front that are put on when an rmail receives a UUCP message, and
which functionally are somewhat analogous to postal backstamps) have quite
a wide variety of syntaxes.
We presently produce a "From:" line here from these stamps, since they
tend to have a much higher probability of being correct than do the From:
lines that have been Mung'ed by Sendmail. However, the Sendmail sites
still make many unusual transformations on the From_ lines.
Could someone summarize the conventions presently in use for generating
From_ lines at Sendmail sites? Why do some of these have @'s in them?
