Mail arriving here had "::" in it, mail >arriving at our neighbor had "!!" instead. Hmm. I can't comment on that, but I followed David's advice, got ELM, and now my addresses go untouched. Actually, ELM seems to use a different addressing scheme: Elm: Jonathan O'Neal <1234::foo@site.site> mail/execmail: 1234::foo@site.site (Jonathan O'Neal) I assume that both are correct within RFC822(?) guidelines, since both seem to work. Anyway, Elm solved the problem (Thanks, David!). >--- >Tom Fitzgerald Wang Labs fitz@wang.com >1-508-967-5278 Lowell MA, USA ...!uunet!wang!fitz -jko -- (.sig and witty quote removed due to bad mail address)
