[comp.mail.sendmail] "at" -> "@

romain@pyramid.pyramid.com (Romain Kang) (10/28/89)

Is this rule still needed?  I'm getting lots of grief when I send mail
to labrea!Forsythe.Stanford.EDU!AT.DLT, to the point where I've had to
throw up my hands and personally feed the message to uux.

	# basic textual canonicalization -- note RFC733 heuristic here
	 ...
	R$+ at $+		$1@$2		"at" -> "@" for RFC 822

Please, no snide remarks about getting onto a real network...

I don't remember who posted this to comp.mail.sendmail some months back,
but it seems to work good..

For the line:

R$+ at $+		$1@$2				"at" -> "@" for RFC 822

add the following to where you define stuff:

CO. : % @ ! ^ / [ ] 		

and substitute this rule:

R$*$~Oat$~O$*		$1$2@$3$4			" at " becomes "@"
