I have accounts on two different systems tcp/ip'd together across
an Ethernet backbone.  Neither node is on the backbone,  but the
networks they are on are gated to the backbone.  On my home system,
where I have sysadmin privileges,  the remote system is in my
/etc/hosts file.  On the remote system,  where I'm a guest,  my
home system has not been put in their /etc/hosts file despite
numerous requests.  I can ftp and telnet from the remote to my
home system by using explicit decimal dot addressing.  My problem is,
how do I mail stuff to myself by the same method?

TIA
