You are right. I way saying 'receiving mail via a web server' because
any mail sent to that machine should be processed there. There is no
other dedicated mail server which would do a job for it
like(host.domain.com for the server and mail.host.domain.com for the
mail server).

I've done both and rebooted the computer.

I tried 'ping'ing and received no answer for 128.252.27.164 .

My system admin tested it and reported that "nothing is listening on
that port:
------
sg at james% telnet nrg.wustl.edu 25
Trying 128.252.27.164...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
sg at james% "
