Hi,

Taral:

>=20
The dot-at-the-end syntax is valid for DNS (host) names, but it's not valid SMTP address syntax to add a dot at the end of an email address (among other places). I would agree that the best way around this problem is to use blah@mail.ai, or whatever. Many people with hosts or subdomains names "ai" will have problems sending mails to you otherwise. Personally, I'd use the ai.ai.ai domain. ;-) --=20 Matthias Urlichs | noris network AG | http://smurf.noris.de/ --=20 Authority is no stronger than the man who weilds it. -- Dolores E.
