He isn't. He's using kevin@localhost. Something at your end is seeing the '@localhost' and rewriting it to your domain name. For the same reason, other people will be thinking he's faking their domain names. Have a look in the challenge-response flamewar thread - Alan Connor had a similarly broken header and people were thinking the same thing about him. Kevin, if you're using exim, try something like this: (I'm assuming your local hostname is 'debian' based on a quick poke through your posts) From /etc/exim/exim.conf: ###################################################################### # REWRITE CONFIGURATION # ###################################################################### # There are no rewriting specifications in this default configuration file. # This rewriting rule is particularly useful for dialup users who # don't have their own domain, but could be useful for anyone. # It looks up the real address of all local users in a file *@debian ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\ {$value}fail} frFs From /etc/email-addresses: # This is /etc/email-addresses. It is part of the exim package # # This file contains email addresses to use for outgoing mail. Any local # part not in here will be qualified by the system domain as normal. # # It should contain lines of the form: # #user: someone@isp.com #otheruser: someoneelse@anotherisp.com kevin: kevin@pacific.net.au -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
