Many people work on machines that have system administrators who couldn't
care less if the mailer software is only kept up enough to handle company
internal mail.  I have made repeated inquiries to various system
administrators, and so-called wizards to find out why our mailer is the
pits, and how to determine what kind of address belongs to what kind of
net, but I've gotten nowhere.  If anyone would care to direct me on how I
could learn about mailers and addresses and paths, and what the hell a
domain name is, I would appreciate it.  Perhaps a document to be posted to
news.announce.newusers is called for.
