Now this is weird!
Must be sendmail just appending the domain name from the host the message
was read at..  Here it said my host, and on your machine your host..  So,
I am not really sure were that message came from.  I did not get a copy of
that message, so perhaps it isn't that script at all.  If it was that
script, I would assume I would have gotten a bounce like you did as well.
So, I don't think that is what it was, sorry about that.  seeing my host
is there threw me off.
