Before actively looking for a feed, I want to have a valid name chosen. The current name of the machine is "falcon," but when I grep the maps, I find a falcon in Europe, and a falcon not registered, but referenced in the US. Am I correct in the assumtion that if I need to rename the machine lest smart mailers become confused and the entrails of a goat be found tied in square knots? In particular, should I explicitly choose a name that is not to be found anywhere in the maps? Paul J.
