Actually, there is.  I wrote a program that uses MacTCP to handle SMTP (Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol).  I keep it in the background (under Multifinder) and
when mail comes in, it says my name...

This is a problem.  People can't send you mail, if they don't know what your
address-of-the-day is!  We use "manual" addressing here, so I can receive mail
directly to my mac.

If there's any interest, I'll post LeeMail :-) to c.b.m. and sumex.
