2.2.2 Sender
This field is present only if the submitter
manually enters a From line. It is intended to record the
entity responsible for submitting the article to the
network, and should be verified by the software at the
submitting site.
For example, if John Smith is visiting CCA and wishes to
post an article to the network, using friend Sarah Jones
account, the message might read
From: smith@ucbvax.uucp (John Smith)
Sender: jones@cca.arpa (Sarah Jones)
If a gateway program enters a mail message into the
network at site sri-unix, the lines might read
From: John.Doe@CMU-CS-A.ARPA
Sender: network@sri-unix.ARPA
The primary purpose of this field is to be able to track
down articles to determine how they were entered into the
network. The full name may be optionally given, in
parentheses, as in the From line.
