    Oddly enough, the last time MIT's campus network tried to get an IP
    number for apollo.hp.com, it was for a machine which was internal to
    the HP network and which did not show up when the local name servers
    tried to get its IP address.  Has this been changed recently?

I'm sorry, David - I'm not quite sure what you mean.  If you mean that the
nameservers for apollo.hp.com weren't reachable on the ARPA Internet, I
know that two of them are (now, anyway).

And yes, the IP address for apollo.hp.com isn't reachable outside the HP
Internet, but the MX list for apollo.hp.com includes two hosts -
amway.ch.apollo.hp.com and hp-sde.sde.hp.com - which are.  Any MX-capable
version of sendmail should be able to get to apollo.hp.com without any
problems.
