This is a list of Internet Interconnections, for those who may
be interested. I got this list from The Matrix, by John S. Quarterman.

Note: I lifted this list straight from the book and do not profess to
have tried out all these addressing schemes. I have the 1990 edition
of the book. At the very least, this list may serve as a starting
point for those who are trying to send mail from internet to other
networks. And if people can add to this list, that would be great.

The sorts of addresses we are talking about are: jf@ap.co.umist.ac.uk jf@uk.ac.umist.co.ap The second gives the traditional JNT address format - ie. reverse of what you are probably used to. Increasingly people use "normal" ordering. Anyway, the address looks like an Internet address, and most internet nodes should know what to do with them anyway - hopefully! I don't know if there is a BIND MX entry for "*.ac.uk" - there ought to be really. Note that the best relays to use are: vax.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk These are for academic use only though. John Forrest Dept of Computation UMIST

There is. All UK academic sites in the NRS (the UK's naming registry)
are automatically entered as MX records in the Internet's DNS. This is
done by the people operating the JANET/Internet gateway in London.
