mailaddr - mail addressing description
user@domain
where a domain is a hierarchical dot separated list of subdomains. For example, a valid address is:
eric@CS.Berkeley.EDU
Unlike some other forms of addressing, domains do not imply any routing. Thus, although this address is specified as an Internet address, it might travel by an alternate route if that were more convenient or efficient. For example, at Berkeley, the associated message would probably go directly to CS over the Ethernet rather than going via the Berkeley Internet gateway.
Certain old address formats are converted to the new format to provide compatibility with the previous mail system. In particular,
user@host
and
user@host.domain
are allowed;
host.domain!user
is converted to
user@host.domain
and
host!user
is converted to
user@host.UUCP
This is normally converted back to the ``host!user'' form before being sent on for compatibility with older UUCP hosts.
Domain names (i.e., anything after the ``@'' sign) may be given in any mixture of upper and lower case with the exception of UUCP hostnames. Most hosts accept any combination of case in user names, with the notable exception of MULTICS sites.
Under some circumstances it may be necessary to route a message through several hosts to get it to the final destination. Normally this routing is done automatically, but sometimes it is desirable to route the message manually. Addresses which show these relays are termed ``route-addrs.'' These use the syntax:
<@hosta,@hostb:user@hostc>
This specifies that the message should be sent to hosta, from there to hostb, and finally to hostc. This path is forced even if there is a more efficient path to hostc.
Route-addrs occur frequently on return addresses, since these are generally augmented by the software at each host. It is generally possible to ignore all but the ``user@hostc'' part of the address to determine the actual sender.
[Note: the route-addr syntax is officially deprecated in RFC 1123 and should not be used.]
Many sites also support the ``percent hack'' for simplistic routing:
user%hostc%hostb@hosta
is routed as indicated in the previous example.
Every site is required to have a user or user alias designated ``postmaster'' to which problems with the mail system may be addressed.
Some other networks can be reached by giving the name of the network as the last component of the domain. This is not a standard feature and may not be supported at all sites. For example, messages to CSNET or BITNET sites can often be sent to ``user@host.CSNET'' or ``user@host.BITNET'' respectively.
Route-Address syntax is grotty.
UUCP- and Internet-style addresses do not coexist politely.
