According to bruce@balilly.UUCP (Bruce Lilly):
>In article <2784B595.F6A@tct.uucp> chip@tct.uucp (Chip Salzenberg) claims:
>>Any site running Smail 3.1 or a typical Sendmail configuration does not
>>make the same assumption. Such sites prepend "host!" to "dom.ain!user".

>Chip, what is your definition of a ``typical Sendmail configuration?''
A Sendmail configuration based primarily on a .cf distributed with
Sendmail by the vendor. From what I understand, most sites
plug-and-play, changing only those things that break their local
usage.
>And on what evidence do you base that definition?
Personal experience and lots of Usenet articles (hearsay).
Is it disputed that the transformation from "dom.ain!user" to
"localhost!dom.ain!user" is performed by many, if not most, sites
that use Sendmail?
