Call for Papers -- Email version bounced back

[Mark Langager]

Dear Mr. Otomo,

I hope you are doing well and conference preparations are
proceeding smoothly.

Regarding the conference, I regret to say that my email
submission to the JSLS conference did not go through. Has
anyone else from the US tried submitting a paper to the
JSLS conference and had the email submission bounce back? I
found a message from my email account today that said:
	"Your message cannot be delivered to the following
	recipients:
	siwatate at qu2.so-net.jp
	
	Reason:
	Illegal host/domain name found"
(I will forward you that message in a separate email
message for your reference.)

I would truly like to present at the conference if
possible, and I apologize for the mismatch of email systems
that has prevented me from meeting the deadline. If I
should submit directly to you, I would be prepared to do
that as an alternative.

Thank you kindly, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours truly,

Mark Langager
