When we (state gummint) had trouble delivering work-related mail to some .mil
addresses in our state, I found that the best way was to look up the contacts
on the installation's website, make a phone call, and ask for the IT people.
We found that sometimes they shut mail down, sometimes higher HQ publish an
overly wide firewall block list, and sometimes Stuff Just Happens.
YMMV, as always.
