Summary: let's get to the point


With all the arguing about routing vs. domains, the question in the
Subject: line is still not being answered.  I'd kinda like to know
if my one-man/one-computer company is a "domain".  Seems like overkill
to register a single machine as such, and go through all kinds of crap
to get a mailer that understands %'s and @'s and what-have-you just so
I can send and receive mail.  Us non-source-license sites that don't
(or can't) run sendmail are left a little high and dry here.  Yes, I
tried to implement smail as a SYSV/binmail configuration.  It caused
more problems than it corrected.  Smail apparantly should have sendmail
to work well.
