We have found it very useful in our environment.  Our world here is all
Unix
except for the Administration systems which run on VMS (you have to be sure
that some things work when you want them to -:).  Using the patch
eliminates
the confusion users might have had with addresses.  We have used it over a
year now with no problems.  We just had a VMS 5.5-1 upgrade, and I applied
the patch to the new MAILSHR image.  It still works just fine.

I can send you a copy of the patch (if you have not already received
several dozen).
