Nope, just tried sending a test email to myself by doing
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and it didn't work. :(
<Rambling>
Ah well, we will just have to use our crappy Lotus server to do email. I
still can't believe this guy sold our former superintendent to move
everything (Website, email, some of the databasing) for our school over to
Lotus Domino/Notes. I hate Lotus! Luckily I got the website back on a
Debian Linux 2.2 box which I'll be converted to OpenBSD 2.7 as soon as I get
more fluent in it.
