Required by whom? IRC? RFC 1459 points to RFC 952 for definition of what a valid host is, and I can assure you that DNS, being a hierarchical system and everything, does not say that a TLD is an illegal host. There is nothing magical about it; if I were to have access to `no's name servers, I could add MX and A records to it and make myself an email address of stian@no, or run a website at http://no/, or be stian@no on IRC. Just because noone does this, doesn't mean it's impossible or illegal. -- Stian Sletner _______________________________________________ List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://epicsol.org/mailman/listinfo/list
