- On a related note, I often see addresses of the form
-
- firstname.lastname@host.domain
-
- If I try to make such an alias in our /etc/aliases file (SunOS 4.1.1
- using sendmail), I run into all sorts of trouble. If I'm not
- mistaken, having a "." before the "@" violates one of the format
- rules.
-
- But then, how do these other sites get away with it? In particular,
- Sun Microsystems itself has all kinds of user addresses in this form!
