Would you agree with "diplomatic compromise" that you are right in huge majority of cases but I am right in some (presently very rare) cases? :-) I can easily agree that @ in names of Unix OS accounts will stay as "not _recommended_" for LONG. I disagree it *must* stay this way. P.S. My investigation of the problem has been triggered by another person question at ServerFault site. I was curious to compare available "Postfix hacks" to "Sendmail hacks" -- A. Filip
