I am seeing a growing problem with mailers munging return addresses,
and this is starting to get ridiculous. Right now, a good percentage of
the return addresses I see on things coming in to me are bad, with at
least one hop missing. A lot of the mail I get comes through
...!ihnp4!fortune, and when I reply to it, the fortune hop isn't there.
I don't know if this is fortune or ihnp4 or even some unknown gnome
upstream doing this (it doesn't seem to be our site) but it should probably
be looked into. Another one seems to be decvax, since I got a message the
other day with the address ...!orca!decvax!..., and when I mailed to
...!decvax!orca!... I got the poor message back because decvax seems to
have never heard of orca. *sigh* And so it goes...

Isn't technology wonderful? I'd appreciate it if the orca people could drop
me a line and let me know how to get ahold of them...

~And so it goes~
