To send mail to someone on another machine at Boston University,
you need to use their username and their machine name. For example,
if you want to send mail to someone in the Computer Science department
you would use the format <username>@cs.
You can also use finger this way. For Example:
math joe % finger Meyers@cs
[cs.bu.edu]
Login name: samIn real life: Shelli Meyers
Directory: /it/samShell: /bin/tcsh
Last login Thu Mar 7 14:46 on ttyp6 from BASS.BU.EDU
No unread mail
Note: If you do not know the name of the machine, then you
can send your message to the machine bu.edu, i.e. tkohl@math.bu.edu,
which will automatically send the mail to the correct machine.
