[comp.mail.sendmail] Hierarchy among !@%

mrl@uai.com (Mark R. Ludwig) (04/09/91)

Maybe this isn't a FAQ, but I am looking for information which
explains the hierarchy among the various addressing schemes.  Perhaps
it's in an RFC?  I keep getting addresses from sites which have all
the characters [!@%], such as "uunet!foo.bar.org!user%xhost@yhost",
and I think there's a bug in my sendmail.cf which is mangling the
address when it comes in via UUCP (rmail) from UUnet (I'm using
sendmail.mail on SunOS, with some modifications).  I'd appreciate any
help anyone can lend.$$
