After going through these rules, mail from vlsi.waterloo.edu to jquser@xxx.vlsi.waterloo.edu ends up being sent to "jquser@xxx.", which isn't what I want. Has anybody else encountered a similar problem? How do you get around this? -Guy Middleton, University of Waterloo gamiddleton@watmath.waterloo.edu (+1 519 885 1211 x3472) gamiddleton@watmath.uwaterloo.ca
