What should be done done with a!b!c!d!e ? More than one % ? Keep some of the !'s ? Bounce it if the next hop, 'a', cannot be reached by UUCP, even though we are of course assuming it is a valid, registered, approved domain (or has such an synonym according to the maps)? I've seen more than a couple of such relatively benign things pass both ways through SGI's gateway. I'm just asking for the revealed wisdom of the coming RFC and what the big gateways will do, and not intending to attack anybody or anything. Vernon Schryver Silicon Graphics vjs@sgi.com
