AFAIK if sendmail is set up right it should not accept such mail at all. It should
say "Relaying denied" or bounce it or keep it in the queue until it expires, I
don't know which. That's what I'd want it to do. And then even if you configure
sendmail to accept other domain's mail, it would still have to know what local
user on mlug.missouri.edu should receive mail intended for EMAIL:PROTECTED
So yes, you have to beg  ;-)
