We use the SMTP rewrite rules posted to the IBMTCP-L list on 01/18/92.

-- SMTP RULES file
 
-- Adopted Rules from Cornell for NDSU / vm1.nodak.edu
-- Update history:      (FLIX is John Voigt).
-- {1}  11/21/91 FLIX - Percent hack unknown unqualified names.
-- {2}  12/12/91 FLIX - Percent hack unknown .BITNET domainized names
--                      (from mgh@ndsu).
-- {3}  12/12/91 FLIX - Expand list of munged headers to catch many
--                      used by RICEMAIL and friends.
-- {4}  12/12/91 FLIX - Number rules to make easier to refer to in
--                      correspondence. (Idea from mgh.)
