This is the best one yet this month; sending mail to 'tonyb@novell.com'
results in the mail being returned, but the return mail fails as well,
since it gets delivered to the original destination localpart at the
SENDER's site.  I.e., what you get in your mailbox is a message from
Novell's mailer daemon telling you that your own mailer informed them
that there is no such user at your site.

Mail to root and postmaster gets returned too, of course.

I wonder if anybody at Novell has noticed the lack of incoming mail?
