a User Agent?  Don't you mean the Transport Agent?  User agents don't deal
with things like retrun-reciept-to, etc... MTAs to.  but nevertheless, this
is something I haven't heard of before, so I won't venture a guess as to what
to do with it.  However, I might shed some light on the origin of the problem.

> > X-Mailer: SCO Office Portfolio (version 1.0)
This comes frokm sco's funky little Office Automation package they developed.
Mail was written without domains in mind or the foresight of a networking
community.  That is, this mailer does not handle mailing outside of sco
very well.  If it successfully delivers mail out of sco, the headers are
outrageous -- it only allows one address on the To: header and it has all
the names, address, domains, hostnames, pathes and sometimes even comment
all scrunched together with a wild assortment of bangs and at's and the like
interspersed between them.  I once got a header:

    To: island!michaelb@island.sun.argv.uucp!jamescb.sco.maui@heller.dan.com

when it was supposed to be addressed to:

    To: sun!island!maui!argv (dan heller), jamescb@sco.com, michaelb

The good side of this is that sco does has a growing community of mush
users within the company.
