Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't the Technion have a firewall that
doesn't let you send mail (port 25) to any computer in the technion except
mrelay? Was vipe somehow exempt from this firewall?

My own domain has this issue, and I don't recall someone ever complaining
to me that they can't email me because of this reason. Even "yahoo.com"
has this issue, by the way, so it's not like Haifux is going to be alone
in this.
