Which would be:
Received: from 73467.2574.compuserve.com (slip-ppp5.ramsey.nis.net
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[198.69.26.84]) by arl-mail-svc-1.compuserve.com (8.6.10/8.6.9) with SMTP id
WAA22318.; Thu, 4 Jan 1996 22:11:57 -0500
Or in other words:
National Internet Source (NIS2-DOM)
12 Maple Street
Ramsey, NJ 07446
Domain Name: NIS.NET
