What we need is an UNAMBIGUOUS STANDARD on how to generate mail adresses.
You cannot expect everyone to run sendmail. Would you like to write the
TOPS-10 version? The VMS version? The CP/M version? The Apple Dos version?
The Ahmdahl UTS version? (We tried to get sendmail up there. It won't.)
But machines running these operating systems *already* are hooked into usenet
in such a way that they are trying to send me mail. Or is this going to be a
unix-only (specifically Berkeley unix no less!) network? If you think so,
then you get to get rid of the non-unix sites... I'm not doing that one either.
However, I can explain why some people's mail isn't getting there.
