We're using smail2.5 and SVR3.1, without 'set noaddsopt' in a mailx
startup file.  I have noticed a problem with the mailx on a 3B15 running
SVR2.1, in that the mailx won't allow addresses like tony.walton@foo.bar -
it just throws it out as an illegal (or unknown) address. mailx under SVR3.1
doesn't throw such addresses out, it passes the fullname to smail as it should.
