Yes, the MTA will do this. (It will also do it on bogus "To:"
addresses.) It's a corollary of the behavior I explaned before. If it
ended up like the one you show above, the original From: header was
probably something like
From: Company Training Services <[EMAIL PROTECTED]
with neither quotes nor trailing '>'. You need to tinker with your
Postfix settings if you want to avoid this behavior.
