What gives the domain "DEC" legitimacy?
DEC is as legitimate a domain as any of the others (UUCP, CSNET)
that are currently being used. ARPA is not recognizing any domains
other than ARPA right now, although they have published dates by
which they are willing to consider them. However, these domains
exist and are being used, whether or not ARPA recognizes them.
That particular message header you showed had the DEC domain entirely
hidden on the LHS, e.g.
From: covert%castor.DEC@Purdue-Merlin.ARPA
This is entirely within 822 guidelines even if DEC is not known on ARPA,
as long as Purdue-Merlin knows how to gateway it. From all appearances,
the gateway is doing fine.
