Mandatory? I'm googling, but can't find a document that declares it =20
mandatory and only sendmail seems to do it.
I think it is lame to use DNS info to rewrite e-mail addresses, but the =20
person who made it 'mandatory' will have good reasons for it.

Does somebody have a pointer to the specs about this?

Ronald.
