I can send mail from killer to uunet!epimass.epi.com!jbuck and Joe
will get it. killer doesn't know uunet, but the mailer will find a route
there. This is an address, not a route. To further illustrate the
point, classify the following as route or address.

jbuck%epimass.epi.com@uunet.uu.net
@uunet.uu.net:jbuck@epimass.epi.com
