Due to my using gmail which doesn't leave the whitespace alone, I had
to resort to the clumsy trick of doing a "sendmail -oi -t -f
sitaramc@gmail.com" from my home machine, and vger's SMTP listener
decided to greylist the mail.

It'll come through eventually, assuming I keep my laptop switched on
long enough!

(Although pobox.com seems to have accepted it OK.)
