Several members of my family work for IBM. I was wondering if
there is some way I can send them mail from my internet account.
I know their internal machine name and tried composing their full
address like 'brother@<internal>.IBM.COM', but never got a response.
(I called them to see if they got mail - they didn't and I never got
a response saying the mail was undeliverable.)

I understand that for them to send mail to anyone else in IBM,
all they need is their internal machine and id. I figured that if
I got my message inside IBM, it would be routed properly.

I would appreciate any comments.

Greg

p.s. I hope IBM is brain-dead regarding their employees receiving
mail from "outsiders" :-)
