Check out the MX record for DNS. You can set up both to receive and send mail and Internet sites sending to you should use your MX record to get the list of mail exchangers.
If you do a nslookup against yahoo.com:
> yahoo.com
Server: which.imedia.com
Address: 10.140.16.20
Non-authoritative answer:
yahoo.com preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx1.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx2.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.com preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx4.mail.yahoo.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
yahoo.com nameserver = NS3.EUROPE.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = NS5.DCX.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = NS4.DAL.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = NS2.SAN.yahoo.com
yahoo.com nameserver = NS1.snv.yahoo.com
NS3.EUROPE.yahoo.com internet address = 217.12.4.71
NS5.DCX.yahoo.com internet address = 216.32.74.10
NS4.DAL.yahoo.com internet address = 63.250.206.50
NS2.SAN.yahoo.com internet address = 209.132.1.29
NS1.snv.yahoo.com internet address = 216.115.108.33
If you do it on unix.com
> unix.com
Server: which.imedia.com
Address: 10.130.16.20
unix.com preference = 0, mail exchanger = unix.com
unix.com nameserver = ns.silkroad.com
unix.com internet address = 64.23.37.23
ns.silkroad.com internet address = 64.23.37.23
On Yahoo, if one is down, the rest will take care of the email. On unix.com, if the one is down, there is no backup (oops!)

ceferino
() ()
NAME
ceferino - action game similar to Super Pang
SYNOPSIS
ceferino ceferinosetup ceferinoeditor
DESCRIPTION
The game is similar to 'Super Pang'.
You are attacked by little green balls which are bouncing around and which you have to destroy with your knife. Your knife, however, is
limited to being thrown upwards, so you have to get under the balls to destroy them.
Even worse, if you destroy a large ball, it doesn't just vanish, but breaks apart into two smaller balls. Levels consist of little plat-
forms connected by ladders, so you can go up and down or find cover if needed.
USAGE
ceferinosetup
With this program you can configure the game options: video mode, full screen or windowed mode, music and sounds. The configuration is
stored in $HOME/.ceferino
You can move through the menu using the arrow keys, return and space.
ceferino
This command allows to run the game. It will get the game options from $HOME/.ceferino and, after a brief introduction, will present a menu
in which you can select a new game and some other things.
During the game, you can use the following keys:
Left Arrow - Move Left
Right Arrow - Move Right
x - Throw a knife
z and c - Roll on the floor
Up Arrow - Climb Stairs
Down Arrow - Crouch
The purpose of the game is to destroy all the balls and go up levels without being killed.
The highest scores are stored in $HOME/.ceferinomarcas
ceferinoeditor
With this program you can edit the levels of the game. The data describing the new levels will be stored in $HOME/.ceferinoniveles.map
You can use the mouse to modify the map.
