Just to see if more bickering occurs :-)

How's about the writing of headers like
  Received: from foo.UUCP by nerf.herd.edu (5.61/1.292) with UUCP
        ...
when foo was really foo.bar.com. And said so. And the transport was UUCP.
Why doesn't it say
  Received: from foo.bar.com by nerf.herd.edu (5.61/1.292) with UUCP
        ...

Does anybody get this right? What is right?
