(A) R$+<@$+> $#tcp$@$2$:$1 user is "user" (B) R$+<@$+> $#tcp$@$2$:$1@$2 user is "user@host" I argue strongly in favor of the most precise definition at all times, i.e., (B). Consider that sendmail might have found that $2 requires MX delivery Elsewhere. You need to tell Elsewhere where you really meant for it to go ($2). $1@$2 and $1@Elsewhere are not necessarily the same person. --Karl
