Here is an interesting mail message sent to my machine 'cookie.UUCP'.
It looks to me like an unregistered site 'cookie' out there (claiming to
be in the uucp domain) tried to respond to a version control message
which had a bad return path. The bounced mail was then autorouted to
my machine instead of back to the unregistered site.
It kind of looks like this other 'cookie' belongs in the att.com domain,
perhaps this problem is related to the other mail routing problems folks
are having currently gatewaying through AT&T.
Since I have no control over sites in the att.com domain (besides getting
to read their bounced mail :-( ) perhaps someone who does could take
a look at this?
