Richard Johnsson's point about domainism in internet mail addresses, I wish to point out that while domainism is required on the ARPANET (and by this I mean network 10), it is not as yet required on MILNET (network 26) and so while you run a proper domain server with MX records and everything, you should continue to generate mail addresses with registered hosts on the right hand side of the atsign (and by "registered" I mean in the HOSTS.TXT file that comes from the NIC) until such time as the MILNET has been required to convert. After that, generate whatever your domain server will vouch for, and those MILNET and ARPANET sites that can't swallow it will have no excuse... formerly postmaster of lll-tis-b.arpa, Erik E.
