   There is another username <juan.c> who is also having trouble receiving
   mail. His question is still active in OLC. I reported a previous user
   <juan.f> who was having similiar problems. Here is a response from
   athena.mit.edu :

	   vrfy juan.c
	   250 <juan.c>
	   vrfy juan.f
	   250 <juan.f>
	   vrfy ilham
	   250 <ilham@ATHENA-PO-2.LOCAL>


   Please let us know the solution to this problem. Thanx in advance.

The immediate solution is that the user should get his login name
changed.

Register now prevents users from selecting login names which include
the `.' character.  A few slipped in early in the game.
