You can add samsung to that list.  All mail I've ever gotten via
<samsung!romed!tct> has been munged at samsung.  And don't forget
Apple.COM and USF.EDU (University of South Florida).

Unfortunately, <postmaster@samsung.com> hasn't answered my mail; and
I can never tell who <postmaster@usf.edu> is this week.

I don't consider Sendmail evil.  I do consider its author to be at
least somewhat short-sighted in his making header munging so easy.
The header rewriting rules in sendmail.cf are the closest thing I've
seen to an E-Mail "attractive nuisance."
