I used to send mail to decwrl!dec-site!person and it worked fine.
Return mail would come back through decwrl just like it was supposed
to. Now I am phil@amdcad.amd.com, which decwrl thinks is an Internet
site.  Decwrl looks us up and discovers that sun is the approved
gateway to us and ships my mail to sun which finally sends it to me.
Now all my mail from DEC's enet gets to pass through an extra site,
sun, to get to me. Obviously an improvement. (sarcasm)

I hate smail.
