About the only thing I could suggest would be to Telnet onto a fidonet system and try to send netmail to me from that system... ??? C> (your from address as it appears here) and it came back. Don't quote me on this, but I suspect that the 4DOS fidonet / newsgroup gate rewrites all the fidonet addresses to cut down on the flow of spam. Maybe Tom Hall can provide some clarification?
