Path address

z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands
SC27-3662-00

Path addresses are rewritten according to the following rules:

If the local part of a mailbox name includes a percent sign (%) and the domain of the mailbox is the host system, SMTP rewrites the address, treating the portion of the local part to the right of the percent sign (%) as the real destination host. For example, the path address:
```
John%yourhost@ourhost.our.edu
```
is rewritten by SMTP running at ourhost.our.edu as:
```
John@yourhost
```
Path addresses with source routes are accepted and rewritten to remove the domain name of the host system. For example, the path address:
```
@ourhost.our.edu,@next.host.edu
:John@yourhost
```
is rewritten by SMTP running at ourhost.our.edu as:
```
@next.host.edu:John@yourhost
```
SMTP also optimizes a path address. For example,
```
@some.host.edu,@ourhost.our.edu,
@next.host.edu:John@yourhost
```
is rewritten by SMTP running at ourhost.our.edu as:
```
@next.host.edu:John@yourhost
```
