	If any user sends mail from any machine on our local network,
	it will be correctly formed at that machine for the local
	destination machine.

	The problem:
		the first line at the recieving machine will change
		(or recieve changed) the "From " line to be
			"From barto <date>"
		instead of
			"From <original sender> <date>"


This looks like sendmail not being run suid root.
