It is better to use "exchange.example.com" for a suitable value of
"example.com".


But surely only relevant if you have some windoid admin whose setup used .local.


oh please. This has nothing to do with windows. Linuxers are worst at this.

I use .local because Bonjour does 99% of the work for me, and I don't do 
Windows.


I'll repeat myself. .local is not a reserved suffix. nor is
.localdomain, despite what linuxers seem to believe. using such domains
is a hijack. you are telling the IETF: we decided to use these suffixes
and you cannot use them anymore. This is unacceptable. chose your camp...

I know we're getting off-topic, but this has bothered me in the past. What is the alternative here? As far as I know, there are no "correct" reserved domains. Is one bad choice worse than another?
