I have noticed many people in various notes, myself included, saying that
they are not able to respond to individuals via mail.  The main reason for
this that I have experienced is that the site is not in our site table.

Seems to me that there is an obvious need for some utility within the notes/
news/mail system to modify site tables - on command.  Thus when a site
changes its name, or a new site is added, or becomes defunct, or changes
linkage, someone at the site can send an automatic signal around that gets
distributed (as for notes/news) to update the site table at each site.
