I am in the final throes of reviewing the *sendmail* documentation to adjust
some site-specific things before we begin to ship it with a network product.
In the course of reading the *Sendmail Installation and Operation Guide*, I
found a comment that leaves me puzzled.  This is in Section 5.3.3 (Relevant
Issues) where the tie-in with RFCs 819 and 822 is discussed.  At the end of
the section is a sentence that reads:

     Beware when reading RFC 819 that there are a number of errors in it.

Now, keeping in mind that RFC 819 discusses domain-based addressing, what
are the errors (or have they been corrected)?  I find it rather difficult
to believe that it would have been released if it contained errors.

Help!

Hey, there's a great future as a fry cook!  I could be manager in two years.
