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. -- jamie (jwalsh@cc6.bbn.com) "There's a seeker born every minute."
