I was carefully ambiguous about where this bug resides.  But I lean toward
blaming it on LMAIL.  At the very least it is a bug in the interaction
between LMAIL and FAL SMTP.

I can't swear it's related, but it sounds suspiciously like it might be.

I don't mean to trash CUNY.  I just picked them for my test, because I'd
seen something like this earlier that hapend to pass through them.
 
I SENDFILEd the following BSMTP file to SMTP AT CUNYVM:
 
---------- BSMTP FILE ---------
HELO WUVMD.Wustl.edu
MAIL FROM:<[log in to unmask]>
RCPT TO:<@WUVMD.BITNET:HARVEY@WUVMC>
DATA
Date:     Thu, 13 Feb 1992 11:40:39 -0600
From:     HARVEY@WUVMD
To:       harvey@wuvmc
 
Just a test
.
QUIT
-------end BSMTP FILE ---------
 
The following result was returned to me at [log in to unmask]  Let me type
that again:  [log in to unmask]
 
--------- mail result ---------
Return-Path: <@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU,@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU:[log in to unmask]>
Received: from CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (NJE origin MAILER@CUNYVMV2) by WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU

Just a test
------end mail result ---------
 
This is repeatable.  It also happens when I telnet to CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU's
SMTP port, and type all that in.  (Although, that's a much bigger pain...)
