[net.mail] reversed path elements

msc@qubix.UUCP (07/26/83)

Recently I have noticed a spate of mail with various elements
of the path reversed as in the following example

*	From ittvax!decvax!cbdkc1!cbosgd!apwh Tue Jul 26 04:54:12 1983
	Date: 26 Jul 83 06:56:38 EDT (Tue)
*	From: decvax!cbosgd!cbdkc1!apwh
	Subject: ditroff post-processor for Versatec
	Message-Id: <8307261056.AA22885@cbosgd.UUCP>
	Received: by cbosgd.UUCP (3.327/3.7)
		id AA22885; 26 Jul 83 06:56:38 EDT (Tue)
	Received: by decvax.uucp (3.326/3.14)
		id AA02215; 26 Jul 83 06:52:23 EDT (Tue)
	Sent-By: cbdkc1.UUCP Tue Jul 26 06:53 EDT 1983
*	To: qubix!cbosgd!msc

This seems to be happen when mail passes through sites running sendmail.
Does anyone know what is happeniong and can it be fixed.  I just mailed
a reply to this message using the "R" request to mail.  It has gone
to ittvax!decvax!cbdkc1!cbosgd which I now suspect is the wrong address.

Also I am definitely qubix!msc not cbosgd!msc yet somehow the message
got to me.

Another site I noticed doing this is somewhere in the path 

	vortex -> lbl-csam -> ucbvax -> decwrl -> qubix

which invariably arrives as

	From decwrl!ucbvax!vortex!lbl-csam!lauren
-- 
	Mark
	...{decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!decwrl!
		      ...{ittvax,amd70}!qubix!msc
	decwrl!qubix!msc@Berkeley.ARPA
