netinfo@jade.berkeley.edu, that's dumb thinking.

do you honestly expect every single user on the Internet to know
about your local routing hacks thru user%host@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU
or ...@Berkeley.EDU or ...Berkeley.ARPA??  Really!?

heck, i couldn't even reply to your message because your
...@jade.berkeley.edu host isn't registered in the NIC.  Foo!

what do you think someone like Bob Kahn or some other money bags
source on a MILNET host is going to do when he can't reply to
messages originated by hosts like yours at UCB which isn't
registed in the NIC's host tables (and doesn't know about your
special address "hack")??

Damn it, why don't you just register your hosts with the NIC and
make it easy for yourself, your correspondents and the rest of
the net??

i seem to be gaining increased appreciation every day for SMTP
servers on hosts which *reject* incoming mail from hosts they
doesn't know about.  SRI-CSL will join the ranks as soon as i
field one question from a user on how do they reply to a message
from one of your unknown hosts.
