My mail system sometimes bounces mail that I send in response to incoming
mail--usually the complaint is "unknown host".  I understand that there was
a re-structuring a while back, and the situation is better, but not fixed.
Is this a common problem?  Is there a way to find gateways to route 
messages?

My current dilemma:  Dell Ellison responded to my posting to this newsgroup,
and I can't reach him.  I've tried the following addresses:

   From his signature:
	ellison@gtephx

   From the Message-Id:
	ellison@gtephx.com

   From the Return-Path:
	ames!asuvax.asu.edu!somewhere!ellisond

In the last case, asuvax complained about "somewhere".  Is it possible to
contruct an address from the News-Path?

News-Path: gtephx!hrc!zardoz!uci-ics!orion.cf.uci.edu!ucsd!rutgers!
	   apple!ames!lll-winken!lll-lcc!coleman

Dell, if you're out there, send me your smail-mail address, and I'll send a
floppy. Or call me at (415) 422-4323.  If somebody knows dell, could they
forward this?  It's terribly frustrating not being able to respond to a request.

Thanks everyone.
