have three simple (and probably stupid) questions.  Suppose we
setup a domain called "smu" and a host in that domain called
"host".  Then my address would be pedz@host.smu.  Now suppose
my domain is feed by uucp then I conclude that my full address
would be pedz@host.smu.UUCP.  convex happens to feed us from the
usenet and uucp mail net and of course uucp would choke if it
was feed the above address.  Thus I suppose my address (which goes
through convex) would be convex!smu!pedz@host.smu.UUCP.  Is this
correct?  Assuming that it is at least close to correct (i.e. there
is an @ and some .'s in the address, what is the probability that
a user in a distant site would be able to get this address all the
way through the net to me.  (Are some of the intermediate hosts
going to choke on the address).

The third question is about !'s and @'s.  I have read that the
!'s are processed before the @'s (at least I think I have).  But
what is the syntax to have the @'s processed before the !'s.  For
example, smu is also on csnet, and there is another host called
smuvax which is linked by uucp.  What is the address for
smuvax via csnet?

Thanks for answering my questions
