Hello again,
An addendum to this message. It (finally) occurred to me to try
telnetting to the ports. I got:
benfell@linux:~ > telnet 216.254.42.98:25
telnet: 216.254.42.98:25: Name or service not known: Success
216.254.42.98:25: Unknown host
benfell@linux:~ > telnet 216.254.42.98:110
telnet: 216.254.42.98:110: Name or service not known: Success
216.254.42.98:110: Unknown host

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and
any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to
run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.
