They are chosen by top-level domains using /etc/mailertable on freefall. If you've got a suggestion for a better suited exploder for .it (including the permission of the owner), go ahead. If you you think it's generally a poor idea to offload .it to the German exploder, let us know. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
