Hi everybody,

I am using GMX (a German freemail service) to collect e-mail from
various accounts. Mails that have been collected with GMX have the
following header lines (the example is a mail to this list):

>From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Fri Mar 10 23:43:44 2000
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Who is responsible for the garbled "From " and "Return-Path:" headers
(as I don't think these are correct)? Is it GMX or is it my MTA? If
the latter, how can I educate my sendmail? Right now I am using
formail to do the job, but that is more cosmetics than a solution.

And at last: what is the purpose of a "From " header (it doesn't even
conform to RFC822, does it?)
