I just got done setting up MMDF and everything appears to be working
properly except one situation.

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.

Thanks for the help...

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.
