  13. In article <G6+ZrANHBh107h@Birdsong.Suvl.CA.US> larry@Birdsong.Suvl.CA.US writes:
  14. |
  15. |My smarthost re-wrote the address into UUCP format as:
  16. |
  17. |
  18. |When I replied to it, it bounced.
  19. |
  20. |Now the question: Is the original internet style address (with 'at' sign)
  21. |["FEGUY::CAE237"@CVG.SDRC.COM] a valid internet address?
  22.  
  23. Yes, it is.
  24.  
  25. |Is the way my smarthost re-wrote the address
  26. |[apple!cvg.sdrc.com!"FEGUY::CAE237"] a valid way to re-write the address?
  27.  
  28. Depends on whether or not it works when you reply to it; it seems as though
  29. that depends completely on "apple".  (Did apple do the rewriting?...).  If
  30. it doesn't work, then it's not a valid way to re-write the address (although
  31. I would have expected that particular form to work.)
