   We just officialy received word from the NIC that we are entered
into the ".com" domain, thereby giving our site the "coplex.com"
name.

   We are running smail3.1.21, with a pretty standard setup, linking
daily to uunet via uucp.  Here, however, is my question:

   Below is an example header that I sent to "uunet!coplex.com!dean"
(basically, I sent it to myself).

1)  Why do the "From " and "Return-Path:" lines state a path
    of "uunet!coplex!dean", instead of "uunet!coplex.com!dean"?

2)  Why does uunet state that it received the mail from
    "coplex.UUCP", when none of the headers say anything about
    us being in the uucp zone?

   Thats is really.  By the way, we are running ELM2.3.11 as our
X-Mailer.  HOSTNAMES in EDITME (in smail) is set to a value
of "coplex.com:coplex.uucp".  The "DOMAINS" variable is not set,
as I dont want it to translate our address "coplex.coplex.com".

   Here is the message:
