Hmm...well, the problem here is that, unless a particular
server can do a reverse lookup on the system trying to drop
off mail, it MIGHT not accept the mail.... What with the
problems of SPAM these days, most folks are running
"closed" mail servers -- i.e. if your IP address ain't
"known" to me, I don't accept mail from you!
