a friend of mine who has an mcimail account is having trouble getting messages to a person in the far east with an address that looks like this...
<FLAST+PERMATMS%Perigon@mcimail.com
i've never seen a "%" or "+" in an address before and am wondering if anyone out there can tell me what they mean, or if they can be resolved to a typical net.address.
Alan, Below is a similarly formatted address here in NYC. It is heirarchical, from left: Angelic CU + hir Mad-Dog Dept % the Cruel Bastard Org @ Tel Mail Hell. <LinetH+aFCRCCOS%Forest_City_Ratner_Companies@mcimail.com> If your friend's CBO is like Forest City Ratner, a Trump-wanna-be developer pack of urban rabid-rat-infestors, then the system was probably set up by a do-anything-for-a-fee consultant to a paranoidal CEO who buys oddles of pseudo-technical gimmicks for corporate obfuscation as a means to pyramidially distance hirself from the lowly mite-interminators minimally-paid to meta-desecrate the hiroshima-scape. According to "LinetH," if you are to the left of a " + " you are " - " but hyper-visible to the cyclopian, leering "+"-sisadmin eager to catch caged animals using the sys for private mail (hey, Bear Stearns-mogul leeches, fail yer prostate/mammogram test, LH sez). Or so LH quietly e-pecks in PGP, having learned not to trust any of the hir-MFs. Shh, the "%"-admin is lurking fearfully just left of H@L-admin.
