Document #110-119		Date: 03/03

Introduction: Electronic mail works very much like regular postal mail. Every user on the network has a private mailbox where mail is kept until deleted by the user. Like regular postal mail you must have an address to send a message. If the mail system cannot deliver a message it will make every attempt to return it, but it is possible for mis-addressed messages to get lost somewhere along the way.
