[EMAIL PROTECTED] is valid RFC 822, but it won't be accepted 1) there is no such user as nosuchuser at example.org 2) example.org has no MTA listening, anyway. Your two examples are valid as per RFC 822. If that is a valid destination (mailbox, in RFC 822 parlance) or not, that is a per-system thing. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
