This seemed like a good idea, so I modified our code last night
to do that. In testing it, I discovered that sending mail to
address@hidden via a guess for an http://www.wfbr.edu/~macrides/
^^^ ^^^
file doesn't work. Mail to our WebMaster account using our server's
alias doesn't work either. Then I tried it for a variety of other
sites, that yieded, e.g., address@hidden or address@hidden
or address@hidden guesses, and have yet to hit on one that actually
works, i.e., the http server aliases aren't adequate host names for email
addresses at any sites I tried. Sigh...
