mlm@pur-ee.UUCP (Michael L. McLean) (05/09/88)
The previous mailing I sent out has a really weird problem with it. First the situation. I sent the message to the info-gnu maling list and to the comp.emacs mailing list. I read comp.emacs on USENET, but on a different machine then I read mail on. I used the comp.emacs mailing address to simplfy things on my end (no copy between machines etc ..). The two addresses I used are info-gemacs: uiucdcs!uunet!prep.ai.mit.edu!info-gnu-emacs comp.emacs: rutgers!mit-eddie!uunet!cc5.bbn.com!unix-emacs I got both of these form Gene Spaffords monthly postings. Now the problem .... I recevied a copy of my letter from the gnu-emacs mailing list (just as I anticipated), but the From address, and even the Reply-To: address both got munged. Here is what I received ... > Received: by ei.ecn.purdue.edu (5.54/1.13jrs) > id AA24323; Sat, 7 May 88 09:52:32 EST > Received: by ee.ecn.purdue.edu (5.54/1.13jrs) > id AA12630; Sat, 7 May 88 09:52:20 EST > Received: from uunet.UU.NET by prep.ai.mit.edu; Sat, 7 May 88 08:11:00 EST > Received: from uiucdcs.UUCP by uunet.UU.NET (5.54/1.14) with UUCP > id AA28023; Sat, 7 May 88 09:32:51 EDT > Received: by a.cs.uiuc.edu (UIUC-5.52/9.7) > id AA27223; Sat, 7 May 88 05:15:02 CDT > Received: by ee.ecn.purdue.edu (5.54/1.13jrs) > id AA27695; Fri, 6 May 88 21:19:06 EST > Received: by ei.ecn.purdue.edu (5.54/1.13jrs) > id AA13465; Fri, 6 May 88 21:19:04 EST > Date: Fri, 6 May 88 21:19:04 EST > From: mlm@uunet.uu.net (Michael L.

I AM NOT at uunet, I just used uunet as a gateway into ARPA net. Before I get asked why I used a gateway after all purdue is connected to ARPA, I will answer it. Undergrad students are allowed UUCP access (cheaper) but not ARPA -- so in reality I am UUCP only. Also -- I used two different addresses to uunet because my .mailrc was out of date .. that peculiarity has been fixed. Does anyone have any idea why my return address is listed as from uunet ????? Has this transformation been happening to others ?? Thanks .. Mike McLean mlm@ecn.purdue.edu {rutgers,ihnp4,inuxc}!pur-ee!mlm
