[NTLUG:Discuss] Sendmail and names with periods.

[Chris Cox]

Used to be an OpenMail problem handling "."'s in names.... weird
since x.400 systems had a problem with using "_"'s..... sheesh....
This was quite some time ago though....

I would have hoped that we would have grown up a bit since those
days.

Regards,
Chris
