NOT EVERYONE RUNS 4BSD ON A VAX!!!

Everyone proposing standard ways of  doing things  please repeat this
to yourself until you understands what it means!  Every proposal that
has been made so far about the proper way  to address  and route mail
will  require  me  to  retire  my mailer  and run  (and probably port
myself) something from  elsewhere, and  you people  are talking about
changing the  whole damn  thing because  of a  bug in  ONE version of
unix!    Is none  of this  stuff worth  doing if  you have  to edit a
configuration file?  Talk about laziness!  Do you  people not realize
that  there are  people out  here who  don't even  have sendmail, and
could care less if your mailer has a bug, and are not very
sympathetic about it?  Of course whatever Mark Horton puts in the map
data will stick, but for chrissakes, think about it first!
