The SU-SHASTA.ARPA SMTP mailer likes to send out SMTP MAIL commands
that look like:

    MAIL FROM:<foo@shasta>

It turns out that for obscure reasons (that probably indicate a
deficiency in my own mail system), the fact that it says "shasta"
and not "su-shasta.arpa" screws me up.  But is it not reasonable to
expect that all addresses presented in the SMTP transaction are the
official names, not nicknames?
