This does not always work, depending on the sendmail configuration, and how
your system admins thought it ought to work. If I try this, it will be shipped
to our central mail-machine for our domain, who will resolve the IP-number
to a name, and lookup that name. In my case it doesn't exist so I get a
'failed mail' back. Also using tcsh, I had to use 'user@[xxx.yyy.zzz.ccc'.
