     The complaint is a message marked as from the System
Administrator (no E-mail address).

     So how do you do it?

     It went out.  I can see it with my ISP's Web interface.

     Trying to receive it into Outlook fails.  Outlook apparently
receives it -- it goes through the motions -- but the post is not
picked up and is still at my ISP.
