We are re-working our sendmail configuration, and our mail relay 
host currently attempts to route addresses of the form:

<@a,@b,@c:u@h> 

to "a", however from what I've been reading from several places 
it sounds like many sites are simply throwing away the source-route and
resolving straight to "u@h".  Is this the recommended practice
now and/or is there any harm in this?

thanks.
