U-MAIL was designed for small systems, with relatively `simple' addressing
needs.  As such, it functions quit well.  In UMAIL 3.57, I finished up the
TCP/IP support code (yeah- it now talks SMTP too, people!), to make it
usable on the machinery at work (lots of Bull DPX/2's).  Works great...

With addressing needs like yours, I suggest using Sendmail or perhaps (if
it can hack it) Smail 3.1 .If you can tell me what the exact problem is,
I could think about a change in UMAIL to do it.  Please respond by email..

Yeah, I forgot that one.  It will be replaced by the now-almost-debugged
UUCP/4E package soon.
