But, yes, I'm going to tell you... Well, something else instead.
*WE* convert user@domain to the UUCP format of domain_or_system!user so that
SYSV mailx can reply to it. IF smail is installed on a site, it will figure
things out when sending mail to this sort of reply (isn't that what it was
made for!?) IF smail isn't installed, then the local mailer will figure it
out as well. NO conflict of interest, NO reported problems.
