& not just *how*, but also *where* a letter (or in this case eMail)
gets delivered!

& I think it's that concept about the eMail System, that really
Confuzzles most people!!!

But once you've got your head around that & accepted that, then a lot
of the other questions & queries people have about eMail stuff, such
as spam & Mailing Lists & Forwarding & ReDirecting etc, become clearer.
