According to kreed@telesys.tnet.com (Kevin W. Reed): >If I send email to a site unknown with a bang style address it gets >sent to my feed site as site!user@telesys.tnet.com >It added the @telesys.tnet.com to the address. If I send it with >a domain style address it comes out as user@site > >What do I need to change to get the bang style address to work correctly >or am I wrong to assume that it is not working correctly already. This is "correct". MMDF is strictly an RFC-822 mail system. As such, it knows nothing about '!'-style addressing. This is why it adds the '@telesys.tnet.com' at the end. (Another explanation could be that 'site!user' is a relative address which must be interpreted in the context in which it was generated, which the '@...' forces as well.) If user@site (or user@site.uucp) works, then use it. This will not cause the rewriting which you dislike to occur, is is equivalent.
