A mailbox is a mailbox. A mailbox can be considered to identify its owner. That is mine. [...] | By your interpretation, the RFC is requiring that every machine that | sends mail must be usable in a recipient address - i.e., the MX (or A) | for that name must be configured to accept mail addressed to that | individual host. (Otherwise, user-login-name@system-name wouldn't be | a mailbox of the originator of the message.) Do you think the authors | really intended to require this? Yes, that is exactly what I think. A records are required for all machines on the Internet that have anything to do with mail, and MX records should exist for all such hosts. Proper mail handling depends on that being the case. If your host has neither A nor MX records then it is not configured correctly. Trying to make Gnus work around that does not fix the problem. -- Rat \ Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ of skin. PGP Key: at a key server near you! \
