A recent graduate from here moved to Mount Royal College in Calgary, and
managed to get some mail to me with the return address
"ppospisil@ins.mrc.adhocnet.ca". The gateway that forwarded it to me didn't
work in the reverse direction, and none of the .ca domain servers I can find
(ubc, waterloo, and mcgill) will admit to having heard of it. Any hints on
how to get through would be much appreciated.

Adhocnet.CA is an aberration of sorts. It is a BITNET (NetNorth) pseudo-domain that has been defined for a very long time. It is similar to .NetNorth.CA in that it only exists for BITNET sites and isn't a registered domain. One can reach it by mailing to a BITNET gateway that knows about these pseudo-domains. It'll forward the message to UNCAEDU (Univ of Calgary?) which is the gateway for Adhocnet. Perhaps someone from there can elaborate. rayan
