Hello All,
> Re: "From: address of terry@dvax "
MY host administrator has changed our official sitename to match
our MILnet sitename (dec-vax-11-750.arpa). This will cause the
"FROM" address of my mail to conform network requirements.
Seems only fair...

I take it from the name that DEC-VAX-11-750.ARPA is the definitive and
authoritative gateway to all the 750s on the Internet! You could get
just a wee bit dumber and name your site NETWORK-HOST.ARPA (=:
--Or how about ARPA.ARPA (hostmaster could let it slip past!)STJOHNS@SRI-NIC.ARPA (02/19/88)
Don't blame the "DEC-VAX-11-750.ARPA" name on hostmaster. She was told to allow it by someone from my organization. *sigh* I've asked her to alert me the next time someone pushes a name like this at her so I can try and prevent a repeat. Mike (DDN Program Office)
