Summary: apparently seismo will be added to the host tables

It appears that "seismo" will be added back to the host tables for the
benefit of a few milnet sites who can't handle domained addresses
(i.e. they strip everything after the first dot). I fail to
understand why they don't require them to update their mailer. (4.1bsd
delivermail)

I wasn't asked, just informed about it.

Another giant step backwards presented by the NIC. Look for
NCP coming soon to an IMP near you.

Better living through standardization...
