The third rule looks for addresses of the form "personalname
" The fourth is a reasonable internet address The last rule says interpret anything else as a username and simply shunt it to VMS mail and hope!!! Obviously things are similar for PMDF sites with a substitution of in% for smtp% and so on. -- Geoff Huston G.Huston@aarnet.edu.au Network Technical Manager ph: +61 6 249 3385 Australian Academic and Research Network fax: +61 6 247 3425
