Uhm, I thought sendmail came into play in getting mail from your mailing
program (pine, elm, whatever) to the uucp mailing system. When I looked at
the yellow book on sysadmining (I think the current edition is red), its
sendmail rules dealt with uucp'd hosts. So some of the re-writing will be
going on in it. I _think_ it's the only one which should be mucking with
the From: line, or that it can muck the from line into something which
other sendmails (or qmails or whatever) won't change.

Take care,

Bill
