Well... as the award of stupidness has not been given out since a while,
here we go again:  victims PP 6.0 (1 more) and [censored :)].

Would one explain me in what "grasp.insa-lyon.fr" is unrouteable?
(grasp.insa-lyon.fr is a MX record pointing to my machine, 
grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr).  When I sent mail there 
as user@univ-lyon1.fr or user@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr, PP does not
complain!
