Here are the MX-related files my process has open after answering the
"To:	" prompt with an MX address, after I get the "Cc:	" prompt:
	DUD0:[MX.EXE]MX_MAILSHR.EXE
	DUD0:[MX.EXE]FLQ_SHR.EXE
	DUD0:[MX.EXE]MX_SHR.EXE
	DUD0:[MX.EXE]MX_MAILSHRP.EXE
	DUD0:[MX.QUEUE]SYSTEM_QUEUE.FLQ_CTL
	DUD0:[MX.QUEUE]6796.SRC_INFO
	DUD0:[MX.QUEUE]6796.HDR_INFO
	DUD0:[MX.QUEUE]6796.MSG_TEXT
	DUD0:[MX.EXE]MX_MSG.EXE
These involve the logical names:
	MX_MAILSHR
	MX_EXE
	MX_MAILSHRP
	FLQ_DIR
and any further logical names involved in translating them.  I'd check the
definitions of those logical names, if I were you.  Good luck.

Disclaimer:  Hey, I understand VAXen and VMS.  That's what I get paid for.  My
understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it.  If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
