-.Sh NAME
-.Nm mailaddr
-.Nd mail addressing description
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-Mail addresses are based on the ARPANET protocol listed at the end of this
-manual page. These addresses are in the general format
-.Pp
-.Bd -ragged -offset indent-two
-.Li user@domain
-.Ed
-.Pp
-where a domain is a hierarchical, dot-separated list of subdomains. For
-example, the address
-.Pp
-.Bd -ragged -offset indent-two
-.Li eric@monet.berkeley.edu
-.Ed
-.Pp
-is normally interpreted from right to left: the message should go to the
-ARPA name tables (which do not correspond exactly to the physical ARPANET),
-then to the Berkeley gateway, after which it should go to the local host
-.Dq Li monet .
-When the message reaches
-.Li monet ,
-it is delivered to the user
-.Dq Li eric .
-.Pp
-Unlike some other forms of addressing, this does not imply any routing.
-Thus, although this address is specified as an ARPA 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
-.Li monet
-over the Ethernet rather than going via the Berkeley ARPANET gateway.
-.Ss Abbreviation
-.Pp
-Under certain circumstances, it may not be necessary to type the entire
-domain name. In general, anything following the first dot may be omitted
-if it is the same as the domain from which you are sending the message.
-For example, a user on
-.Dq Li calder.berkeley.edu
-could send to
-.Dq Li eric@monet
-without adding the
-.Dq Li berkeley.edu
-since it is the same on both sending and receiving hosts.
-.Pp
-Certain other abbreviations may be permitted as special cases. For
-example, at Berkeley, ARPANET hosts may be referenced without adding the
-.Dq Li berkeley.edu
-as long as their names do not conflict with a local host name.
-.Ss Compatibility
-.Pp
-Certain old address formats are converted to the new format to provide
-compatibility with the previous mail system. In particular,
-.Bd -ragged -offset indent-two
-.Li user@host.ARPA
-.Ed
-.Pp
-is allowed and
-.Bd -ragged -offset indent-two
-.Li host:user
-.Ed
-.Pp
-is converted to
-.Bd -ragged -offset indent-two
-.Li user@host
-.Ed
-.Pp
-in order to be consistent with the
-.Xr rcp @CMD_EXT@
-command.
-.Pp
-Also, the syntax
-.Bd -ragged -offset indent-two
-.Li host!user
-.Ed
-.Pp
-is converted to:
-.Bd -ragged -offset indent-two
-.Li user@host.UUCP
-.Ed
-.Pp
-This is normally converted back to the
-.Dq Li host!user
-form before being sent on, for compatibility with older UUCP hosts.
-.Pp
-The current implementation is not able to route messages automatically through
-the UUCP network. Until that time you must explicitly tell the mail system
-which hosts to send your message through to get to your final destination.
-.Ss Case Distinctions
-.Pp
-Domain names (i.e., anything after the
-.Dq Li @
-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.
-.Ss Route-addrs.
-.Pp
-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
-.Dq route-addrs .
-These use the syntax:
-.Bd -ragged -offset indent-two
-.Li <@hosta,@hostb:user@hostc>
-.Ed
-.Pp
-This specifies that the message should be sent to
-.Li hosta ,
-from there to
-.Li hostb ,
-and finally to
-.Li hostc .
-This path is forced even if there is a more efficient path to
-.Li hostc .
-.Pp
-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
-.Dq Li user@domain
-part of the address to determine the actual sender.
-.Ss Postmaster
-.Pp
-Every site is required to have a user or user alias designated
-.Dq Li postmaster
-to which problems with the mail system may be addressed.
-.Ss Other Networks
-.Pp
-Some other networks can be reached by giving the name of the network as the
-last component of the domain.
-.Em This is not a standard feature
-and may
-.Em not
-be supported at all sites. For example, messages to CSNET or BITNET sites
-can often be sent to
-.Dq Li user@host.CSNET
-or
-.Dq Li user@host.BITNET ,
-respectively.
-.Sh BUGS
-The RFC822 group syntax
-.Pq Dq Li group:user1,user2,user3;
-is not supported except in the special case of
-.Dq LI group:;
-because of a conflict with old berknet-style addresses.
-.Pp
-Route-Address syntax is grotty.
-.Pp
-UUCP- and ARPANET-style addresses do not coexist politely.
