[net.news] Bogus From addresses in fa.info-vax

ggr@pyuxbb.UUCP (09/14/83)

Whatever software is handling the gateway between fa.info-vax and
USENET is generating incorrect source addresses. All the articles here
have
	From: root@ucbvax.UUCP
or
	From: sklower@ucbvax.UUCP
in the netnews header with the first line of the article being
	From GEOFF5@SRI-CSL  Sat Sep 10 17:39:33 1983
(with varying dates, of course).

When the article is signed, the author is neither 'sklower' or 'GEOFF5',
but as most are unsigned or don't have the author's address in the text,
there is no way to send a reply.

There is obviously correctly working gateway software handling the other
ARPA groups.  Why can't it be installed on ucbvax to handle fa.info-vax?
