Whichever you prefer if your site is properly configured (sites on the
Internet, UUCP, Bitnet and CDNNET should have no trouble with either), and
whatever works if your software is broken.

Sites that generate toronto.edu fall in two categories: either they were on
CSNet and the ARPANET before the Canadian domain came into being, or they
prefer the functional .edu naming scheme.  Computer Center preference is
towards the use .Ca and most sites on campus do so.  Some sites (like this
one) even allow users to pick which one gets on their outgoing mail...
