Even if you do manage to connect to it, chances are that it will refuse
to handle a message coming from such a domain name.  Most servers insist
that the *from* addresses are real, public, domain names.

You'd want to look into masquerading options, to rewrite outgoing
addresses.  Or run your computer with a real domain name.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
