An address of the form <@host1,@host2:person@host3> (where host1/2/3 are in domain form) is legal, although I've found that a lot of mailers will kindly re-write that for you, sometimes into a form that the receiving system won't accept...(i.e. the above might be translated into person%host3%host2@host1, but any of the hosts in the route may not like that format. -- Steve Peltz (almost) CFI-G "Monticello traffic, Glider 949 landing 18, full stop"
