MILNET sites not using nameservers to resolve mail domain names may send to UC Berkeley hosts by using one of the following: user%host@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU user%host@Berkeley.EDU user%host@Berkeley.ARPA Provided "host" is a local UC Berkeley host. There are a few UUCP sites at Berkeley that cannot be reached by the above address, but which may be addressed by: uhost!user@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU or uhost1!uhost2!ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU The domain part of the address is from the Interhost table entry: 10.2.0.78 ucbvax.berkeley.edu ucb-vax.arpa ucb-vax berkeley berkeley.arpa ucbvax berkeley.edu ucb-vax.berkeley.edu 128.32.0.10 ucbvax.berkeley.edu ucb-vax.arpa ucb-vax berkeley berkeley.arpa ucbvax berkeley.edu ucb-vax.berkeley.edu Bill Wells postmaster@ucbjade.Berkeley.EDU postmaster%ucbjade@Berkeley.EDU postmaster%ucbjade@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU ucbjade!postmaster@ucbvax.Berkley.EDU ucbvax!ucbjade!postmaster BITINFO@UCBJADE.BITNET

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. -------
