Hmm - it isn't; I'm quite sure of that, being www@??? myself
(unfortunately I didn't write this between the lines, just actually on them

What I was logging was a lot of mail that was making it all the way to the
kfs.org mail system, and then not getting in because of the above error.
The address people are using is:
To: www@??? <www@???>
As I said, I can, technically, see why it's not valid, but I can't see,
philisophically, why it's mandatorily invalid.

A certain company that was once the shield against Microsoft, but these days
is just a smaller emulation[1] of them. (If you guessed 'Sun', go to the
back of the classroom; Answer was 'Netscape' :)

original's software :))
