Now lets see, last downloaded and updated a few months ago with now using:-

Prog            Reported        File
Name            version         Date
-----------------------------------------
NET.EXE         V2.16d          1-10-95
DIS.EXE         V1.28           21-11-95
PCELM.EXE       V1.10           22-11-95

See above

-OK, you got me on that one.  KA9Q does insert at least one "Received:"

....

As will the gateways along the line from the sender to final destination.

Or in one case I had ONE valid message got three fail replies because it
bounced around the same punt and mail-relay for two days causing too many
hops;)
