user@relay!host is not defined. That is to say the address is illegal because it is ambiguous. At least to me :-). What do you really want to do? A ! on the RHS of a @ is undefined. I'm a good sendmail reference. There are others :-). host!user@relay is defined ... means send to relay and relay sends to host for user. If you want to send uucp to relay then to user on relay from a uucp host usually we address it as host!relay!user and host recognizes that relay is an IP connected node. In fact since a hostname should have a domain it is easy to get the uucp host to recognize that host.domain!user should be changed to user@host.domain. But you still cannot have an address with a ! as the right-most operator end with a hostname. f
