And I followed Marc's instructions but had no luck. The message bounced 
back to me again. Same problem as Sinclair notes and I previously noted: 
KMail makes the outgoing address as  "myid at mycomputer.mydomain" instead 
of the list of e-mail addresses I had created.

Note also that Marc says to put the list into the proper address book 
(he uses Personal Contacts but mentions Google Contacts). I don't have a 
choice, and I have nothing named Personal Contacts or Google Contacts. 
Where do these appear?

I am more confused than ever.
