 
 Domains  are   a   method   for  mail addressing that was  adopted  from the
InterNet  `Domains'  concept.  Domains allow for the easy routing of  mail to
either geographical areas (as commonly used on  the CitaNet)  or to organized
groups  of  nodes  (often companies or affiliates).  Domain  mail  is entered
with the [E] command in the Mail> room and addressed thusly:
 
   user@node.domain
 
 Domain mail is  an  extension  to `@' mail  as  described  elsewhere  in the
HELP system.  For  example, TPT4  is a Fortress system  located in California
and a member of  the  CA  domain.   To send  mail  to  the  sysop there using
Domain mail, you would address it to:
 
   Sysop@TPT4.ca
   |     |    |
   |     |    domain name (California)
   |     |
   |     node name
   |
   recipient's name
 
 Domain handling under Fortress is now very elaborate,  allowing the sysop to
alias node  names,  domain  names, and even  completely  defined  node/domain
names.  The new  smart mailer  is also capable  of  aliasing the local site's
nodename   for   incoming   mail   and belonging to/understanding multi-level
domains.  This is  a great improvement over    the    older    v1b   mailer's
intelligence.
