Hi,
  I've been getting complaints about my SMTP rejecting mail from sites
with a underscore in its host name. If I read RFC 821 correctly, names
may consist of letters, digits, and hyphens. Has this been liberalized
recently?
  The site in question is: its_gate.cc.uow.edu.au

                                 Thanks,
                                   Jeff
