>From the gismu list I have: 
 
  x1 
    mails/posts [transfer via intermediary service] 
      x2 
    to x3 
    from x4 
    by carrier/network/system x5 
 
That makes 
    x1 the sender 
    x2 the package/letter 
    x3 the intended recipient 
    x4 the location of the sender 
    x5 the method of carriage 
 
benji is given as: 
  x1 
    transfers/sends/transmits 
      x2 
    to receiver x3 
    from transmitter/origin x4 
    via means/medium x5 
 
which is clearly very similar, if not identical.
