It has come to my attention that for the mail routing software
to work, we need to have a list of sites that can understand the
new 822 syntax, e.g.
	user@host.UUCP
in order to know whether to send them rmail arguments in this format
or in the old host!user syntax.

If your system can understand this syntax, and is able to generate
routes from it (e.g. the above host might not be an immediate neighbor)
please let me know.  If you are planning to update your software on
your own to do this before July, also please let me know.

Note that 4.2BSD, as distributed, does not quite meet this requirement.
While it is able to convert user@host.UUCP into host!user, it does
not do routing, so it can't convert it into otherhost!host!user.
For purposes of this survey, this distinction matters.

By the way, if you want to add this functionality, public domain
software to do this does exist, although it's still pretty rough.
We expect to have something more polished in 6 months or so.
