Hi all,

I'm occasionally getting (spam) messages which produce headers such as
the following

---------------------------
>From 29253527@??? Sun Jun 15 09:46:25 1997

Return-path: <29253527@???>

The "From " and "Return-path:" have got ".demon.co.uk" appended, which
is wrong. I guess its my configuration file with something missing or
incorrect (sender_unqualified_hosts?). I would be grateful if someone
could guide me in the right direction (bear in mind I'm no mail guru!)

Is there a easy way of simulating this effect locally myself so I can
check that I get the configuration right?

Regards,
Matt.
