Sorry that I didn't make it clear.. :(
I don't have much problems sending the mail through alumni.ust.hk.
And no problems for sending local mail too.
(There was quite a number of problems, but were solved before
I decided to post here :)
The problem is that local mails suffers from the address rewrite..
Just a bit ugly :(
And yes, I find that I can see my mail and replies to it from
the digest. Thanks for forwarding me a copy, Jonathan)
