I have often wondered how do I address a net note to someone in a different mail domain than mine. Well, thanks to the Oct. 1986 issue of the Communications of the ACM, I have the answer. On pages 932-971, John Quarterman & Josiah Hoskins published an article on "Notable Computer Networks". While it probably won't be a best seller, one of the best parts is Table III, Address Formats and Gateways. (The table is found on page 940). The table provides a 10 domain matrix of how to address mail from one domain to another. The ten domains listed are: ARPA, CSNET, MAILNET, JANET, EAN, COSAC, BITNET, ACSNET, UUCP & JUNET. I realize that this note is not directly related to this mailing list, however, I think with the multinet distribution of the list, I hope that others might find this information useful.
