A comment on Engineer distributes resume via IPv6 traceroute. Parent comment

Not really. From the lines above one can deduce that the dot represents space or colon, for obvious technical reasons. As such, I'd interpret

  mail.jobs.at.poinsignon.org
as

  mail: [email protected]

I still think it's mail.jobs@ - so I'd hope the engineer set up collection on both addresses.

It'd probably be a lot safer to just have the line be "jobs.at.[...]"

Edited to add: Oh also - from the same line you can infer that a dot means a dot - the ".org" at the end confuses the meaning. Perhaps it'd be clearer if they went 100% slashdot and had ".DOT.org"

Yes really, you can see even in the other replies the interpretations are not 100% clear.

It took me a minute to realize it wasnt some form of "mail+jobs" or "mail.jobs". It wasnt until I wrote the last line of my comment that it was "mail jobs@"
