	There was a talk at the Atlanta Usenix (don't remember who, sorry)
about domains and routing mail between the Arpa Internet, UUCP, BITNET,
CSNET, etc.  One of the basic ideas to to put a high price on crossing
domain boundaries.  If you have your company totaly contained within a
domain, both of the problems described above go away.
