Firstly the UK is not == to JANET ! There is life outside JANET and most (if not all) if the commercial sites in the UK have correct domain ordering (foo.bar.co.uk) both internally and externaly. All of the gateways available to commercial sites work the right way round (hi peter) so where is the problem ? Answer: rutherford 1/2 :-) I don't see that in the real world there is a problem the gateway should (and as far as I can see does) convert (well ukc does anyway). Can anyone sight an example of mail the was correctly addressed with a FQDN in the right order for the local mailer ending up in the wrong place due to a domain order problem with the UK ? BTW if you think the UK domain order is bad try X.400, HDB uucp won't pass X.400 addressed mail because of the `/' in the addresses. -- John Pettitt, Specialix International, Email: jpp@specialix.com Tel +44 (0) 9323 54254 Fax +44 (0) 9323 52781 Disclaimer: Me, say that ?
