 Hi,
	We've set up our username formats to use "$" in them (ie foo$bar could
 be a username).  We are now finding that some mailers out in net land are not
 able to send to these addresses.  Does anyone have any information on why
 a mailer would be complaining about this.  After all RFC822 does not say that
 a username can't have a '$' in it.

 Thanx for any and all info
