I suspect your stepmother is not coding the address correctly.  PUMP uses
the standard CMS nickname files so somehow your address must get into that
nickname file.  Have her use the NAMES or LNAME command to create a nickname,
say, ED, where the user id is EDWARD and the node is TWG.COM.  She should
then just be able to send mail to ED.

Unfortunately, we don't run PUMP here so some of this is an educated guess.
Basically, this is all pretty simple stuff and someone at her site should be
able to help her.
