Greetings... We are in the process of integrating a number of different mail systems and are hoping to write the parsers to properly interpret all the possible mail addresses out there. I do have a pretty fair idea as to the presendences and ordering of the operators and what they do, but to this point I have found no documentation on this. Many of you might point to RFC822 immediately. Unfortunately, from what I can determine RFC822 does not address the mixed UUCP/DECNET/Internet/??? formats that can exist that we all commonly use now. SOOOO...I guess what I am asking is for a pointer to a definitive document that addresses all sorts of address formats. This would make it a bit easier to write a header parser that properly routes messages. Maybe others have made a stab at this? Thanks for any and all help. Mike Parker Manager, Systems Administration
