What I don't like about the rewriting rule where sitea!siteb!sitec!dom.ain!user becomes simply user@dom.ain is the assumption that, on the other side of all those site[abc] nodes, "dom.ain" really means what we think it means! Maybe "sitec" is a gateway to SiberiaNet and 'ti.com' really means Trans-Irkutsk Commune or something! In this sense RFC976 and rabid rerouting could make strange bedfellows. Does a dotted sitename automatically have to conform to the One True DNS or else forfeit legal mention in a UUCP path?
