Well, in the Arpanet world at least, that's a nice theory. But quite
often these days, the ONLY way for me to get mail to a given machine on
the west coast is to route through ucbvax:
foo%decwrl.dec.com@ucbvax.berkeley.edu
This isn't a matter of us not "knowing" decwrl -- the problem is that
the net is so overloaded that we can't stay connected long enough to get
a mail message through!
