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
