[comp.mail.uucp] Problem with mail from other system.

jessea@dynasys.UUCP (Jesse W. Asher) (10/12/90)

I've got someone trying to get on the net who is running AIX on an
RS/6000.  The mail I receive from him is marked strangely in the "From:"
field.  It looks something like "From: !!root" for example.  It doesn't
put the systemid in the address.  So, when it gets to my system, 
smail 3.whatever keeps putting the mail from him in /usr/spool/smail/input
and it just sits there.  My question is really two pronged.  1)  How can
I correct the problem on the AIX side?  and 2)  How can I get smail to
accept such mail even if not correct?  Thanx for any advice on this.
