Often the mail isundeliverable because of employee turnover.We have also had such a problem at NBS and have therefore created MAILaddress synonyms such as SYSTEMS, MANAGEMENT, and LIAISON to ensure thatmail is correctly delivered no matter who the incumbent happens to be.I suggest that all systems which permit MAIL address synonyms installthem.  I further suggest that the NIC or the ARPANet management select astandardized set of synonyms, thus increasing their utility.    Marshall Abrams
