I originally thought I could keep MINIX mail and real mail separate by
using a different name (minix@cs.vu.nl) for MINIX.  Sort of like Archibald
Leach calling himself Cary Grant or Bob Zimmerman calling himself Bob Dylan
in public.  It didn't work.  I gave up and went back to ast@cs.vu.nl for
everything.  I haven't looked at minix@cs.vu.nl in ages.  There are probably
10,000 message there now, so I don't dare look either.
