Domain discussions would be interesting to us, especially in relation
to the UUCP world. I guess gatewaying to the ARPA list is a good idea, 
although their way of organizing things seems to be a bit different.

In fact, we are considering setting up a domain for access to a bunch of
non-UNIX (imagine!) VAXen here, and would like opinions on the best way to 
go about it. Are "local" domains a la DEC and SUN are emerging as some 
kind of de facto standard, rather than subdomains (user@host.subdomain.UUCP)?

Although the latter are probably preferrable from an administrative point
of view, they are hardly compatible with the current UUCP addressing.

(See? I did what the big guys say - didn't vote, but provided material
for:	net.mail.domains
or whatever it should be called.)
