On Wednesday, Aug. 26th, I posted a message to comp.sys.misc, concerning a computer system we may want to sell. Today, I received the following piece of _mail_ (!?!?!?) concerning that posting. Can anyone please tell me what is happening here? As far as I can tell, the site ECLA.USC.EDU bounced the article. What I want to know is: 1) How is that possible? 2) Why did it send me mail - I didn't think that was supposed to happen 3) Who has to fix what so it doesn't happen again? I am including all of the headers, but not the body of the article. If someone out there has the explanations, I would appreciate hearing from you. |From cmcl2!seismo!ECLA.USC.EDU!Mailer Thu Aug 27 12:11:39 1987 remote from phri |Received: by gor.UUCP (UUL1.2#241) | from phri with UUCP; Sat, 29-Aug-87 16:35:14 EDT |Received: by phri.phri (5.51/5.17) | id AA16113; Thu, 27 Aug 87 12:11:39 EDT |Received: by cmcl2.NYU.EDU (5.54/25-eef) | id AA20461; Thu, 27 Aug 87 11:13:09 EDT |Received: from brl-smoke.arpa by seismo.CSS.GOV (5.54/1.14) | id AA27020; Thu, 27 Aug 87 11:09:35 EDT |Received: from ECLA.USC.EDU by SMOKE.BRL.ARPA id aa29680; 26 Aug 87 10:15 EDT |Date: Wed 26 Aug 87 07:15:41-PDT |From: The Mailer Daemon <phri!cmcl2!seismo!ECLA.USC.EDU!Mailer> |To: hjg%gor.uucp@BRL.ARPA |Subject: Message of 26-Aug-87 07:12:05 |Message-Id: <8708261015.aa29680@SMOKE.BRL.ARPA> | |Message failed for the following: |FCDSSASD@ECLA.USC.EDU.#Internet: No such mailbox | ------------ |Received: from BRL-VGR.ARPA (for BRL-VGR) by ECLA.USC.EDU; Wed 26 Aug 87 07:12:08-PDT |Received: from BRL-VGR.ARPA by VGR.brl.ARPA id aa08453; 26 Aug 87 9:58 EDT |Received: from brl-adm.arpa by VGR.BRL.ARPA id aa08377; 26 Aug 87 9:46 EDT |Received: from USENET by ADM.BRL.ARPA id aa14587; 26 Aug 87 9:41 EDT |From: harry gross <hjg%gor.uucp@BRL.ARPA> |Newsgroups: comp.sys.misc |Subject: Wang 2200 + 10 Terminals + 1 Printer |Message-ID: <3.UUL1.2#241@gor.UUCP> |Date: 24 Aug 87 07:16:41 GMT |To: info-micro@brl-vgr.arpa [text deleted] Also, it looks like one of the sites has played with the From: line. I don't mean to start up a (finally) quieted down discussion, but isn't that contrary to the rules in the RFC (822?). Anyway, I hope someone can shed some light on what happened here. Thanks, Harry Gross ..!{phri,nyit,bc-cis, helm}!gor!hjg
