[SunRescue] RE: Bill's Big-Honkin bandwidth!

Joshua:

Well, what's wrong with it is that it's NOT a regular bang path, and it's NOT a
regular sendmail style address (or whatever the current address style is currently
called), but rather a mix of both, something that isn't really supposed to be
(unless that's changed, I havn't checked in like 10 years). A proper bang path would
have been  nova!draco!agrijag!mike and a proper sendmail would have been
mike at agrijag.draco.nova.edu

Like I said above, all my definitions of 'proper' are probably out-of-date, that's
something that comes with age I guess.
