The From: line of Mr. Nowicki's posting, at least, was "nowicki%rose@sun.com.
Shouldn't we expect nowicki!rose.sun.com?

HUH?  Anyone who isn't Sun is your competitor?  And whatever sun.com
happens to do is defined as the standard?  If sun.com will provide
multiple MX records and forwarding and help register domains with the
NIC for free, *then* Sun has a right to complain about people not
registering their domains.
