SMTP RFC-821 defines a 'host number' that supplements the regular domain name and internet address notation. For example, PERSON @ #354. (refer to page 30 in the syntax for <element>, and to page 31 in the last paragraph.) Does anyone know what this #host number is and where it comes from? Is this a feature that is normally expected to be implemented in SMTP, or is it a left-over from years past (NCP?). Any pointers will be appreciated. Mike Sanders CDC-DDN @ DDN3.ARPA
