I have been getting this ever since my system has been online (about 2 years).
And I do not even have the tcp module installed. Just running basic mail
does this. When I enter mailx, it shows me that all my mail is either from
"root", "uucp", or "jep" (jep is my login). On other systems that I have
accounts on, when I enter mailx it shows me who sent me the mail.
HELP!
