[HECnet] HECnet mail gateway...

[Mark Abene]

YOU worked at GOOGLE? Say it isn't so, Johnny!

I responded elsewhere, I'm having the reverse problem trying to send mail
to a HECnet address using gmail, and gmail is refusing the user part with
the colons. Quoting it made it go through, but it never arrived at the
destination...
