Re: Directory Entries and SMTP names

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you still use Folders (/QDLS) or SNADS (eee Gads)  then you'll still 
need the directory entry but not the SMTP entry.

Of course you should NOT be using folders and if you are you should kick 
that habit.  There are many reasons NOT to use them and only one (bad) 
reason to continue to use them. If I utter that reason Rear Admiral 
Grace Hopper will appear and beat me about the head and shoulders (again!).
