- Well, I would say thats open to interpretation. IMO, I think it should be:
-
- _From myamy!boinger
-
- but that is just another opinion. :)

- Have you checked the option DomainPath? What sendmail are you using? The
- one from AmigaUUCP or my SMTPpost? Please do a version/uident on what you
- are using and let me know.

- and GRn still find it. If it doesn't, its a bug. :))
