I'm writing an SMTP server, and I have another few questions
about the right way to handle some mail.

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>
