As postmaster on mtune (and mtung) I don't believe that Paul (F) can be
found on the other end of "p.g.fox@mtune!ATT.COM", and I will not
forbear to point out that most mail sites will be unable to reach him
on ihnp4!mtung!pgf either, since that isn't an RFC822 address.

p.g.fox@mtune.att.com will work, (via forwarding to mtung!pgf) but
anything with "pgfox" in it won't. I didn't process all my 22 machines
user's names into smail2.5's fullnames database, and I was lazy
putting them into the aliases database. Someday I'll put a smart
search into smail (unless I get lucky and someone else does it first).
Until then it's exact string matches only.
