Hi Neil I have seen problems across all releases of SMTP on the AS/400
supporting the - in the domain name. I have one user in the IGNITe mailing
list that has a - in the domain and the system has problems sending to it
(V430), and I saw the same thing on a customers V370 and V410 machines.

Personally I think that SMTP has  several problems and this is just one of
them. It has issues with large loads being placed on it such as mailing
lists where several hundred connections are made and then crashing, lack of
support for multi-homing, it needs to be looked at again and the problems
fixed.

Thanks
