Hi. Whenever someone posts to an interest group (e.g. tcp-ip), the mail
the rest of us receive as part of the distribution of that posting shows
tcp-ip-RELAY@NIC.DDN.MIL in the From: field of the header.
I think your local mailer is at fault. As you can see above, your
message arrived here with a proper "From:" field. The SMTP envelope
did contain tcp-ip-RELAY@nic.ddn.mil, but that should only be used for
bounces (and I appreciate their doing that so I don't see the bounces
when I post :-). I suspect some local mail delivery system at your
end or your mail user agent is misinterpreting the RFC822 header
and/or the RFC821 envelope.
