Hello,
   My system is adding the keyword "somewhere!" to the From: line of
incoming messages, and I do not understand why.

Here's a sample message:
-------------
From somewhere!andy.bgsu.edu!jmiller Wed Aug  5 12:41:08 1992
     ^^^^^^^^^^  Where does this come from?
Received: from somewhere by wendy.bowlgreen.oh.us
               ^^^^^^^^^ and this?

andy.bgsu.edu is the FQDN of my mail server, it's uucp name is bgsuvax.
My machine that this message is received on is FQDN wendy.bowlgreen.oh.us,
and UUCP name wendy.

Where does that somewhere! come from?

I am running SCO UNIX 3.2.2 with the MMDF package as supplied by SCO.
My mail server is running Sendmail on 4.3 BSD.

Thanks for any help you can offer.  I apologize if this is a FAQ, but
I looked through all the articles on this newsgroup, and on uunet in 
usenet/comp.mail.misc.
