[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Does AMS_NoDomainPreferredOnLocalMail work?

Does the AMS_NoDomainPreferredOnLocalMail actually work? I was hoping
that once I set this in AndrewSetup, I could start using UUCP bang
addresses, without having to bother about what domain will get tacked
onto it. I.e. I was hoping that when I specify an address mtgzx!jis I
would get mtgzx!jis after address validation instead of
mtgzx!jis@domain, but that does not happen. I still get
mtgzx!jis@domain, no matter what I do with NoDomainPreferredOnLocalMail.
I am running AMS in Pacth 7 Rel 3 of Andrew.

What is AMS_NoDomainPreferredOnLocalMail supposed to do anyway?

I have

AMS_NoDomainPreferredOnLocalMail: 1
AMS_UUCPSupported: 1

In my AndrewSetup file.  Using this, "foo!bar" validates directly, and
"nsb" validates as "Nathaniel Borenstein <nsb>" rather than "Nathaniel
Borenstein <nsb@thumper.bellcore.com".  You should test a case like the
latter to find out whether you've actually got the AndrewSetup lines
right.  If you do, these two kinds of validation should be working for
you.  -- NB
