  Login in to wendy, cd to the directory containing 'rmail', and do:
	strings rmail | grep somewhere

  I bet you will find where it comes from.

  This usually means that the incoming UUCP mail message has a bad
"From " line.  It is expecting:

	From jmiller Wed Aug  5 12:41:04 1992 remote from bgsuvax

and perhaps it will also accept either of:

	From jmiller Wed Aug  5 12:41:04 1992 remote from andy.bgsu.edu
	From andy.bgsu.edu!jmiller Wed Aug  5 12:41:04 1992

but it is probably getting

	From jmiller@andy.bgsu.edu Wed Aug  5 12:41:04 1992
