You don't understand the way that InterNet EMAIL works if you are asking this 
question. The email message has headers at the top that look like so: 
Received: drakkar.mhv.net Sun Mar 30 01:06:05 1997
Received: (from majordom@localhost) by lists.his.com (8.8.4/8.8.4) id

The indented lines are actually wrapped from the previous. To succesfully 
send email to the net, you want to have headers like this in your message 
file. You then take the file with the headers and content and send it to 
sendmail with the to and from information on a command line. This two and 
from does not get reflected or added to the headers and is known as the 
"wrapper". The wrapper for the above message was addressed to: 
weaving-list@drakkar.mhv.net 
Notice the To: header is not the same as the wrapper... that is because who a 
message is addressed to doesn't have any bearing on who is receiving the 
message. This allows for the use of CCs and BCCs and sending a message for A 
but to the address B. 
InterNet EMAIL is very complicated. If you are attempting getting your system 
moving internet email with your BBS then you want to get something like GIGO 
to do it for you as it does a superb job of it.
