I have noticed in some mail queues around campus mail addressed to suburban
machines that will never get there. For reasons too bizarre for description
some csri and ecf machines (notably utcsrgv) can not talk to utcssca, utcsscb
and utcseri directly. You must specify some intermediate machine such as utcs,
utcdfa, uthub, etc. in order for your mail to go through. Otherwise your mail
will be returned to you with a "Connection timed out" message. This problem
will eventually go away but until that happy day we are stuck with it.
So in the meantime stick an intermediate machine in your path as in
utcdfa!utcssca!foo from utcsrgv.
