I am using fetchmail 5.5.0 and sendmail 8.11.2, and since I installed
NetBSD 1.5 with that version of sendmail, I noticed something strange
about the frequent double bounces that I receive. The part
message/rfc822-headers is overlaid with my /etc/hosts.

Does anyone else see this?

I include an example below (rather complex, but it is better to be
complete I think). I only shortedned the contents of my hosts file
somewhat.
