:Nonsense. It is a perfectly good address. Good, bad, and ugly are
:three different things. It is an ugly address. It is confusing only to
:someone who doesn't know the rules (@ has precedence), and for broken
:sendmail.cf files.
"blah!blah%blah.UUCP@blah.blah.blah" is the address format in question.
Using mixed "!" and "%" in the address is undefined -- both "@" and
"%" are routing hacks that I wouldn't consider part of a "good
address". Moreover, anything that references the pseudo-domain .UUCP
is asking for trouble. I guess your definition of "good" and mine
varies.
