Question: Mail passed to our sendmail (5.59 from SCO) from the network
          (It is passed into sendmail with -f flag from our networking
           software, MHSnet) 95% of the time, generates an 

"Apparently-To:" header line, and the old header of the mail is stored
AS PART OF THE MAIL MESSAGE. As an example:

Does anyone have a fix for this? Would attempting to compile a later version
of sendmail help at all?
