SV: [Serusers] Question about usrloc

[Zeus Ng]

Try to understand it like this.

You have email address "My Name <myname at email.domain>". You have a account
<account1> with ISP isp.domain. Now, to send mail, you are using your ISP's
mail server as a gateway and they require you to authenticate first. So, you
authenticate with <account1 at isp.domain> to the mail server. But how does the
email appears to come from? It's "My Name <myname.email.domain>". 

The same applies to SIP. You, <12345 at mysip.de>, REGISTER to a SIP server and
it requires you to authenticate first. The authentication ID is
<msn1-12345678>. In effect, <12345 at mysip.de> is the actual user and
<msn1-12345678> is just used for authentication.
