Subject: mx4.u.washington.edu ???

I've noticed that my Linux box from time to time is attempting to
send mail to mx4.u.washington.edu.  The pine executable does not
refer (as far as I can tell) to that host.  There are no
pending messages to be sent out in my mail queue...  Anyone
know if this is normal?

I decided to trap mail being sent to the address by re-routing
stuff for the mx4 address to my local IP - the problem hasn't
surfaced again yet...

Have you sent mail to anyone at u.washington.edu?  mx4 is one of the
mail exchangers for that domain, so much of the mail to UW users will
get routed through it...

Mail to anybody at "u.washington.edu" will go to mx4, among others, since
mx4 is one of the incoming mail servers for u.washington.edu.
