Janina's mail problem.

[John Covici]

I think you have to have a real ip address to do with your name --
either a static one to use with ppp, or a dynamic one assigned via ppp
-- static is better as you can put it in your host file and then if
your machine is not named localhost your problems should be solved.

This is my $0.02.
