If I get an address with %'s (e.g. xyz%cshost.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa) what should I do with it? 1) call up csnet-relay and say RCPT TO:3) something else What if I wanted to send all of my mail by forwarding it to a local "smart" machine with a decent mailer and letting it do all of the delivery? E.g. xyz is the smart machine; do I say RCPT TO:<@xyz.arpa:person1@site1.arpa,person2@site2.arpa> -- Kevin Crowston UUCP: {seismo,ut-sally}!harvard!kevin MIT Sloan School of Management ARPA: kevin@harvard.ARPA
