Ok -

 I've determined what's wrong with the return address
you have for this message (it should be something ponds!rivers@dg-rtp.dg.com,
but it's mostly likely nuucp@dg-rtp.dg.com.)

 The UUCP 'rmail' system I'm connecting to _requires_ the
first line be:

  From user  <date>  remote from machine

instead of the more modern form of:

  From user@system <date>

(it's quite common for SysVR3 based UUCPs to require this, even older
HDB versions.)

 So, what do I need to hack into my sendmail.cf to get it to
do that?  Ideas?
