   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.
