No, I didn't say that. Look at the messages again. Smail 2.5 read my name
(peter) from the From_ line on ficc, and copied it to the From_ line that
was on the message sent to texbell. Smail 3.1 ignored the From_ line and
invented one (From Postmaster...) and put it on the From_ line that it
sent to sugar.

Any mail I send via texbell ends up being From_ texbell!Postmaster. Mail
sent via uunet, sugar, or any of our local machines (running System V
3.0 on Arix 1100s) works just fine.

ficc
	System: Xenix 286, (System III based).
	Mailer: Vanilla Xenix mail, using Version 2 UUCP style headers.

texbell
	System: System V (I think) on an NCR Tower.
	Mailer: Smail 3.1

sugar
	System: System V/386 on a clone.
	Mailer: Smail 2.5
