I cannot send mail to most of the *.com addressses (e.g. adam@smith.com),
even when 'adam' can send mail to me.  The mail I received would have a
header either like

   From adam@smith.com
   Return-path: <adam@smith.com>
   Received: from gateway.smith.com by ray.met.fsu.edu (4.1/31ray)
            id AA18324; Mon, 3 Aug 92 16:09:32 EDT
   Received: from crunch.smith.com by gateway.smith.com (5.61/1.34)
            id AA15320; Mon, 3 Aug 92 13:09:54 -0700
   Received: by crunch.smith.com (5.65/1.34)
            id AA29868; Mon, 3 Aug 92 13:09:17 -0700

or

   Path: mailer.cc.fsu.edu!gatech!rpi!usc!fishery.ualaska.edu!uunet
         !zephyr.ens.adam.com!sth7!sth5!adam

Is there a way for me to write back based on this info on the
'mail relay stations'?  I cannot 'ping' smith.com 
("unknown host: smith.com"), but I can ping 'gateway' and 'crunch'.

I'd greatly appreciate any help/suggestions!
