Yup. However, any site running Smail 3.1 or a typical Sendmail configuration does not make the same assumption. Such sites prepend "host!" to "dom.ain!user". If these sites considered the two above addresses to be equivalent, they wouldn't feel the need to modify one address and not the other. -- Chip Salzenberg at Teltronics/TCT , "Please don't send me any more of yer scandalous email, Mr. Salzenberg..." -- Bruce Becker
