It's always been my understanding that MAIL-L is about Mail Transfer Agents
and User Agents  or, more generally, mailer software and hardware.
Questions such as yours are often posted to info-nets@think.com .

However, since you asked... InterNIC records show no specific email address
for Dow Chemical in Freeport but reveal that Dow operates a domain called
dow.com.  Name server records indicate that postmaster@dow.com may work.
If not, you'll have to consider calling Claire Conboy or Mke Straty.
