We at DDATHD21.BITNET received a mail with the following header:

> Received: from columbia.edu by wiscvm.wisc.edu on 01/07/86 at 13:19:50 CST

The header is OK.
But the mail was not addressed to "XBR1YD22" as specified in the RFC-header.
The mail was delievered to "SEISMO!X". The ARPA <-> BITNET gateway at
WISCVM truncates f.e. the user field "SEISMO!XBR1YD22" of
"SEISMO!XBR1YD22@DDATHD21.BITNET" to "SEISMO!X" because only 8 characters
are allowed in BITNET. Some mailer must have forgotten to remove the
"SEISMO!" in the transport information.

Whose mailer doesn't process such mails correctly?

BITNET address:  XBR1YD14 @ DDATHD21 (no NETDATA please)

	For what it's worth, I'm fairly sure it came through here OK.  I've
got the following entries in my sendmail log files:
