I apologize for causing you to become confused. 

You might not be aware that the string "73467.2574.compuserve.com" is my
**chosen** host name 
("73467.2574") and my **chosen** domain name ("compuserve.com"). Neither of the
two are 
AUTOMATICALLY inserted by my ACTUAL server (mail.nis.net).  I have arbitrarily
**chosen** these 
host and domain names for my TCP/IP settings and I can simply change them to
ANYTHING else if I'm 
willing to restart my system.

I take this as a compliment.

As your friend Ken Sallot already pointed out correctly - it did NOT. It
originated at nis.net.
