[wellylug] Email address and website

[Enkidu]

I don't know how lug.co.nz are set up, but if they have any direct
control over their mailservers, they should be able to redirect mail
from an @wellylug.lug.co.nz email address to any other, eg
<someone at orcon.co.nz>.

Or they could add an MX record which points to a wellylug mail server.

FWIW a wellylug registered and operated Domain Name, website and
mailserver would be favourite, I believe. 

Cheers,

Cliff

The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign
that the conspiracy is working.
