Hello mark,

 MF>>> If the user leaves the "domain" field of their address empty during the
 MF>>> initial installation, some(but not all) remote mailers will kick them
 MF>>> off. I personally don't see this as an incompatibilty, I see this as a
 MF>>> user error.

 ML>> it is also a design flaw... it should raise a huge red error indication
 ML>> when there is no domain listed OR (keep reading)...

Sadly, that is indeed what was overlooked.


 ML>> it should NOT put the @ unless there is a domain specified... so still a
 ML>> design  flaw nonetheless...

Martin discovered that the @ is hardcoded, and does not clear out when
the domain field is empty.

So, any gibberish in the domain field will suffice to prevent a session
from failing on strict systems looking for something in the @domain part.
