"user@something-with-no-dot" won't be interpreted the way you suggest. Original format of e-mail address is "user@hostname", not "user@domain". And a hostname may have no domain part. So if you put something without a dot to the right of ".", it will be interpreted as hostname, and that hostname will be resolved according to current resolver configuration in effect. Ie. the hostname will usually either be searched in the local domain, whatever it is, or - if the resolver configuration permits - the name will also be searched in /etc/hosts. If the hostname is not found, the address will be treated as non-existent and the message rejected. Shortly said, "user@com" will mean user at a host named "com" in your local domain - whatever it is - or another host you called "com" in your /etc/hosts file, and not user at a MX for TLD domain .com (even if such a MX exists). -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."
