- As a matter of fact, they are (to a limited extent). VM/ESA doesn't
- allow userids with hyphens (from what I hear). There may be some way
- around that, but I know one LISTSERV site that recently migrated to
- VM/ESA and had to change the local names of peered lists containing
- hyphens. From a remote user's point of view, there's little change,
- since their MAILER now has forwarding for the "standard" names pointing
- to the "real" names, but local users are forced to switch.
