Hallo Stef,

>Hello Claudio -- You did not show the full name as it will appear in
>actrual use, 

   here is an example:

    admd-garr.ORX400.it.  IN XA  10  admd-garr.c-it#it

>so I may not be clear on where it will be seen, if ewver, by end-users.
>(I think it is never seen by end-users, only by EMail Router Programs.)

correct, end users will never see it, it is just seen by DNS and the API for
e-mail routing programs and gateways.

>I suggest ORX400 (or ORX4 if string length is critical).   

OK, I add this to the list of proposals.

>After all, this is dealing only with X.400 O/R address mappings, is it
>not?

yes, it is intendeed for rfc1327 mapping tables... but ... mmmh one could
also think to use it more in general... yes. But the name itself is just
a label, like in-addr.arpa...


regards!
Claudio
