I must admit, this is the most creative, easiest, funniest (to someone
who's had the experience), and just plain best way to deal with the
situation.  Give that man a Kudo for outdoing the rabid mail re-routers
from hell!  

rutgers should be shot for the over-re-routing (yeah, so it's a
backbone...unfortunately, about half my mail goes through there, and
bounces rather handily....and now rochester's got the same problem, and
*all* of my mail goes through there.  Great.
