    What is the status of Symbolics fixing up their domain servers on this?  It
    has been a problem for a long time and it seems like there would be a simple
    solution (MX record saying to deliver it to STONY-BROOK.SCRC.SYMBOLICS.COM
    with a worse priority than if it can deliver it directly).  Such a solution
    need only be implemented at Symbolics and so could be installed anytime.

Yes this would be very nice.  Presently mail must be addressed as:

   rsk%samson.cadr.dialnet.symbolics.com@riverside.scrc.symbolics.com

which is hairy, long and cumbersome to say the least.
