My original problem arose with an AOL addy when the Received: shows
"Received: from imo-d03.mx.aol.com ..." there the '.mx.' has nothing
to do with the TLD .mx , there may also be other TLDs with a similar
trap. Using '.mx (' ensures that you are looking at the TLD. Part of
my difficulty was because I was just learning how to use the 'List'
facility.
