You probably shouldn't change the 'From:' line if the mailers *all*
understand the 'Return-Path' (remember, not everyone conforms to standards).

4.2BSD sendmail sites should all be able to understand that syntax.  A
site just running uucp.....  I don't know.  I doubt it (our 11/70 w/2.8bsd
couldn't understand that without some serious work on my part).

What's this about phasing out uucp addresses?  I vaguely remember seeing, a
month or so ago, a message stating that uucp was going to be released for
*micros* in the very near future.  Once this is released, uucp addresses will
be permanant, more permanant than even ARPAnet addresses.  If any phasing out
is going to happen, it had better happen fast!
