Hey, Toby; this address doesn't work:

| To: Toby Rider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I asked nslookup about it:

>       : nslookup -querytype=mx blackmill.net
>       Server:  ns1.dns.rcn.net
>       Address:  207.172.3.8

>       barra.tullochgorm.com   internet address = 207.136.137.67

When I ran my delivery program with debugging on, it told me that  it
tried  to  mail.blackmill.net  but  didn't get a connection.  It then
tried a few of the obvious variants, and they all failed.  So it sent
the message off to a forwarder on a local machine, and it will likely
also fail.

Wonder what the problem is ...

Here's the message I tried to send:

|       Geez.. you have alot of accounts!

Well, I know people with a lot more.  I've had more at times, when  I
worked  at  places  with the typical commercial (i.e., very confused)
email systems.  Also, trillian and ecf-guest are  the  same  machine,
with two aliases. The eddie machine is an old, crotchety machine that
has been deprecated, but is still there forwarding mail  (and  acting
as the department DNS server).  The EE folks fully intend to keep its
name in use until we're all dead and gone, since we all know how hard
it  can  be  to  get  people  to  change  their address books.  Also,
addresses on that machine are in a lot of archives, and it'd be  nice
if  readers could use them decades in the future.  This can be useful
if you're a university department.

The rcn.com address is our local cable-modem service, which gives you
email addresses whether you use them or not. I check it at least once
a week, just in case.  The airbridge address corresponds to  my  cell
phone, a Kyocera smartphone with IP access and a real browser, not to
mention PalmABC.  I can demo looking a tune up on the web  (using  my
tune finder), copying the tune to the ABC app, which plays it through
the phone's tiny speaker.  This gets me lots of geek points.   But  I
only check the phone's email once or twice a week, since nobody knows
about it yet.  And it's a palm-type device, which  sorta  limits  the
size  of  messages,  and you can't do much with them except read them
and reply, so I probably won't ever use it much.
