Empirical evidence seems to point out that the path reversal problem still exists at more than one host. Part of the problem stems from the inconsistent treatment of a!b@c. Unfortunately the 4.2 distribution contains config files that do a considerable amount of header munging, and more hacking will probably make matters worse. Sendmail is still a mixed blessing, however some of us hope to eventually fix the (few) cursed parts. Gary Murakami AT&T Bell Laboratories ihnp4!gjm
