I've got a minor problem (annoyance) that I'd like some help getting
cleared up.  For a few weeks, I've been receiving some email on my
machine that is bound for someone I never heard of before.  I'd like
to get it to stop, so I don't have to continually manually intervene
with my mailer to clean the crap out or deal with failure messages to
"postmaster".

The rest of this is based on the headers of the email as it sits in my
spool area.  Any header munging along the way may have changed things
drastically.

The original messages contained in the failure mail have a "From:"
address of "scottj%stealth@uunet.UU.NET (Scott Johnson)".  This means
that to send a reply, one delivers the mail to uunet.UU.NET for
delivery to "scottj%stealth".  Convention has it that that means uunet
should send the mail to machine "stealth" for delivery to user
"scottj".  Well, "stealth" is a machine in my lab.  It is listed in
the UUCP maps.  So, uunet forwards the failure message to *my*
stealth.  "Received:" header lines in this original message indicate
that it passed through (at least) "dazix", "ncrlnk.Dayton.NCR.COM",
"uunet.uu.net", "mcsun.EU.net", "fuug.fi", and "funet.fi".  The mail
is addressed to "ccheke%ncr-mpd@uta.fi" and bounces with a message
about a "Host utacc not known" while talking with "tut.fi".

"Pretty wierd", says I.  I've tried sending email to postmaster at
several of the (I presume) involved sites, with no help so far.  If
anyone knows how to reach this Scott Johnson person, please let me
know.  Or, better yet, tell him to CUT IT OUT!

Thanks much.
