   I was wondering if either of the companies in the Subject: line are
   connected to the outside world for E-mail services.

I didn't find United Telephone, but:

|    MAILRUS.CC.UMICH.EDU         35.1.1.26
| 
|    No known hosts under this secondary domain.

And I am aware due to traces in my logs here that sprint.com accepts
<local-part>s in X.400 syntax, e.g., stuff like
	/pn=username/o=some-org-name/admd=mail-carrier-name/c=us/@sprint.com
for mail-carrier-names of the form telemail, telemax, or tmailuk.
