First of all, that *looks* like a header from a mailing list. From
the headers in the message I'm replying to (all From type headers):
< From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jun 6 13:27:26 2000
< X-From_: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jun 6 15:24:22 2000
< From: Baurjan Ismagulov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
the From without a colon is not the originator of the message,
obviously The X-From_: header matches what my mail logs show (and the
colon-less From) as the originator thanks to an envelope-from as shown
here:
< Received: from bigfoot.com (bflitemail6.bigfoot.com [208.156.39.206])
by glitch.crosswinds.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id PAA38634
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 6 Jun 2000 15:24:05 -0400 (EDT)

This may be an artifect caused by your POP daemon and/or MTA. I don't
run a POP server, but I do retrieve some messages by remote that don't
arrive via usual channels (i.e. they are retrieved from a webmail
account via a perl script). Those messages all give a Sender header
that matches my username ond domain, and masseages (read spam) without
domains get my domain name tacked onto them.
