 This has been reported before.  There is a patch I think at
uxc.cso.uiuc.edu:/mail/sendmail/ucbMail.patch
 (or look for similar names).  The patch doesn't stop the real problem,
which is that ucbMail should probably not copy the senders domain to
recipient addresses.  But with the patch it at least does the copying
correctly.

 I have cross posted this to comp.sys.encore.  The problem is not directly
related to encore - it is in the Berkeley sources.  BUT - I reported this
to encore more than 6 months ago, and I believe I sent a patch at that
time.

 Perhaps now that the problem has struck home, we will see some action.

I reported the problem on January 30, 1990, while we were Beta testing
Umax 4.3 (our reference number 0055, for version Umaxnfs 4.3
(B4_0.23)).

I sent Encore the patch (from paul@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu (Paul Pomes -
UofIllinois CSO)) on July 12, 1990.

Glad we have sources...
