Slight problem at mddc?

Hi.  I got the following mail message today.  It seems to me that the
first "From:" line is wrong.  Is it?  Should someone (I assume "mddc")
fix their mail software?  I think they're running 4.2BSD, from which I
conclude that they're probably running sendmail.

The path was mddc -> cbosgd -> fortune; I assume cbosgd is doing the
right thing (Mark Horton seems to know his stuff), and I think fortune
is also correct (Mark Stein is a little newer at it, though).  (P.S. If
it makes any difference, I'm running the Rand MH mailer, using sendmail
to do the real work, and I think mddc uses Berkeley Mail).

This may not be earth shattering, I realize; I'm just trying to
help.  (I'm still new to a lot of this stuff).

				Thanks...
