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 Perry convex!smu!pedz (at least for now)
