	I think you just answered your own #2.

	I'll bet you put something like xxx@sloth.bc.ca as your domain
name, didn't you? I tried .UUCP@Corwin.CCS.Northeastern.EDU for the machine
in the lab since mail needed to be forwarded through corwim, then uucp'ed
to minix1 for an address of irons%Minix1.UUCP@Corwin.CCS.Northeaastern.EDU.
However, Wmail doesn't look to see if there is an @ in the address already
and just takes irons@minix1 (not irons%minix1) and adds the domain to it.

Sort of.
First, W-MAIL (jeez', why didn't I use a decent name for that?)
does not do ANY such thing- it is U-MAIL (again, what a name!).

Second, he is using a truly ANCIENT version of the software. I
put W-MAIL 3.64 and U-MAIL 3.49D on Plains some time ago. Use
that, and be surprised...
