This doesn't work here, because the mailhost is a separate machine,
called "kantti". [Etymological digression omitted B-]
If you don't get results anything like Gregory's, try asking the
mailhost to expand your mail address:
% telnet kantti smtp

Easier still would be to send yourself a mail message and have a
.forward which does something easily detectable, such as stuff the
message directly in a file. Just remember to put back your "real"
.forward when you're done testing :-)
Hope this helps,
