- : Oddly enough, the Domain Name System doesn't know "john@physiol.su.OZ.AU".
- : Is there some special meaning in this? What the hell is your problem?
-
- The domain system does know 'physiol.su.OZ.AU', not every host needs an
- A(ddress) record (usually when there not directly connected to the Internet)
- In this case it has a MX (mail exchange) record.
-
- There is nothing in either address or MX info for 'cray.csc.ncsu.edu'

- [just thought it was worth pointing out, i'm not justifing the original
- posting, which is just ludicrous beyond words - anyone got a dictionary ?]
