I seem to have stumbled across some sort of strange glitch in the
Athena mail handling program. It occurs when sending a message using
"comp", and seems to reverse the address before the message reaches
the real world. That is:
mhampson@wpi.wpi.edu
bounces, and the To: field of the returned message says
wpi.wpi.edu@mhampson
This has happened twice, to different addresses. Resending the
offending mail works, but is annoying. What's up?
