	But to try to claim that mail sent out should be allowed to have
	illegal names because the sites are illegal shows some sort of
	brain damage.

Where did you get the idea that I was saying that?  The point that I
was trying to make was that RFC 921 put use in the position of implimenting
one set of addresses on one part of the internet mail system, and another
set on the other part of the internet mail system, without separating the
the mail system into two separate functioning parts. This has cause
several problems.

One solution I offered earlier was to logically separate the two system
and have mail gateway(s) between the two which would put full domain
addresses in messages going to the non-nameserver side into an form
acceptable to the side of the mail system using host tables.
One method to do this is to source route the addresses going to host
table sites with the @domain-address of the mail gateway (which would
be registered in host table).

Does anyone have any comments on using this method to test out the nameservers
on the research side of the house without interferring with the operational
side of the house?
