ummm... vkradio.net is not a fake TLD...
some.user@f<node>.n<net>.z432.vkradio.net is valid... then, if zone 432 happens
 to be used by another FTN, the domain would certainly come into play to keep
the netmail in the proper network...

ok... that's great... i hadn't tested that route because i always start with
outbound from a FTN to an internet domain... being able to receive is great but
 that hurts when being unable to reply, too...

yeah, i've done that, too, and ran into a problem there that i haven't had time
 to report... basically it was something to do with the name not being changed
properly when a reply message was sent back... i'll have to gather the details
for you later... right now i have to get out of this facility as it is 100+F
again and i'm roasting... i only just realized how hot it has been today
