There is nothing "syntacticaly" invalid about "shaw.ca". You can (and
probably should) use the full DNS name of the server.
Of course if the name doesn't exist or the server doesn't accept SMTP
(port 25) connections "new Net::SMTP" fails.
If you use just the name (without the domain) you just ask the DNS to
find the server in whatever default domains are set for your
computer.
