Following up on the .cs domain confusion (Czech, Computer Science), I find
myself in a similar situation.  My department domain is physics (ph)
and is uner gmr.com.  Occasionally, people from other departments
send to user@host.ph and find that the mail goes to uunet, who is holding
an evil Wildcard MX record for *.ph and sits there for 30 days,
until it is returned to sender.  Now, I don't think I can change the world,
so I educate my local users.  Only, it would help if I knew what the .ph
domain was...anybody know?  Is it PHony?
