The last one was uunet!gsm001!gsm. Then I got mendelson.com (Jan 1991)
and stopped using bang paths (though I still used UUCP). At various
times I fed other sites, but I think they were handled by aliases.

That's when I moved from UNIX "mail" to ELM, I needed a mailer
that understood domain name format email addresses. 

What I can't remember is the BITNET email address I had while working
for a client (for almost a year). It was "madgsm", the "mad" was the
department code, not a comment on my sanity, but I can't remember
the rest of it. 

Now it is really easy, I remember sending email (circa 1969) by inserting
messages in a shared file, or since I was a sysadmin, the equivalent of
"/etc/login". This was back in the days when HP made "real" computers.
