Is it possible to send mail using numerical addresses instead
of domain names?  Our yp hosts database is far from complete and
rather than constantly asking our sys admin to add names to it, I'd
like to be able to send mail based on the numerical address.  I
tried aliasing some names but it didn't work.  The mailer-daemon
still complained that the host was unknown.  Is there a way to 
do this?  Thanks in advance for all responses.
