<sigh>  Oh well.  I attacked this from another path and got our sysadmin
to make the address with the internal email address an alias for me.
This alias appears to work now.  I was hoping for something that did
not leave a permanent kludge.

On a more specific note, are my reports correctly submitted?  Is there
enough information with them?  I don't want to waste anyone's effort.
