A person sent me the following message as e-mail. It describes how to
find an e-mail address if your host doesn't keep accurate maps around.

Subject: Re: Finding an e-mail address
I have found a different method of finding an e-mail address; somewhat
harder, but it does not require your host to even have a directory
/usr/spool/maps.
Subscribe to newsgroup comp.mail.maps; it carries the updates to what would
be in /usr/spool/uumaps at a site with good maps. Don't bother reading all
the articles unless you really want to. Search the subject lines for the
lastest updates for the state or country you are interested in; note that
large lists are split into .1, .2, .3, etc. sections. Search these articles
for the desired addresses.
Feel free to post this - I would post it if this machine could post news.

I have heard that the return address above often doesn't work. If you
want to reply, use:
UUCP: ...!mcnc!aurgate!aurfs1!miles or ...!mcnc!aurgate!aurw91!miles
