Thank you for the directions. However, whenever I tried to input the
forwarding address in the "From:" field the 'devilsplayground' server
refused to accept the outgoing mail. When I tried the same procedure in
Mochamail, it worked **exactly** as it ought to.
I am going to put the 'devil' behind me and move on, now that I know what
I'm up against. However, a search on Google for the 'devilsplayground'
brought up not only the expected drek but also references to Tasmania, so
for any Listers in the Antipodes, where the "Devil's Playground' might be a
regional in-joke, this might not be quite as much of a write-off as it is
for some of us North Americans.
Many thanks for the information which I have put to good use for that other
less than idyllically named "umailme.com".
