I changed hpost to just use the machine name if it can't find the entry in
.machinelist.  This is what it should have been all along.

.machinelist is just a local aliasing mechanism.  If you have a list of
ucalgary people, you should probably add an entry that looks like:

(.*\.)?ucalgary\.ca	ucalgary.ca

or

(.*\.)?ucalgary\.ca	ucalgary

I would have suggested ucal but then you'ld clash with all those
californians.  If you pick one, we can add

I'ld change us from astro to something else, but that would probably
screw everyone that have modified the .dict files for themselves.
Astro was short sighted of us, though it survived a company split and
the domain name wouldn't have.
