Hallo again Christian,

maybe I understand now better what you mean:

Am I correct to read it as:

1) for rfc822 to X.400 mapping you should use the format:

       *.nrc.it.             IN  PX  0  nrc.it#PRMD-nrc.ADMD-acme.C-it

2) for X.400 to rfc822 mapping you should use the format:

       *.ADMD-acme.X42D.it.  IN  PX  0  it#ADMD-acme.C-it

3) for X.400 to rfc822 mapping you should NOT use the format

       *.ADMD-acme.X42D.it.  IN  PX  0  ADMD-acme.C-it#it

because the process always know in which direction is converting, and thus
it is confusing to swap <x400-in-dns-syntax>#<rfc822-domain>.

Do I get your suggestion correctly now?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my previous message I read your message differently, i.e.

you should use the formats:

       *.nrc.it.             IN  PX  0  nrc.it#PRMD-nrc.ADMD-acme.C-it

"and you should NOT use" nor

       *.ADMD-acme.X42D.it.  IN  PX  0  it#ADMD-acme.C-it 

neither:

       *.ADMD-acme.X42D.it.  IN  PX  0  ADMD-acme.C-it#it

... and thus I was not able to understand exactly the "and NOT" reading
of your sentence... It is a nice case where the way you read a sentence,
i.e. the place where you insert the "hidden comma", just reverts totally
the meaning!
