Ummm, let me see...

Newsgroup name is "aus.net.mail".  OK...

"aus" - yep, that's Australia, unless you're a thick-headed Yank, in
which case you probably think it's "Austin" (wherever that is); some
also think it's "Austria", which is probably not too far from the truth
if you're looking for the Alps...

Ummm, "net".  Gee, looks like "network" to me, unless you're into
fishing, or perhaps fish-net stockings...

With me so far?  Good.

Err, "mail"...  Unless you think that it's a gender, or refers to
Aussie Snail, could that not possibly refer to e-mail?

So, upon the balance of probabilities, I think we can safely conclude
that "aus.net.mail" refers to e-mail on the network within Australia.

Hope that helps...
