You'd probably be sending from a mail account named after your own machine (without a real domain name), and that won't go through the outside mail servers. Using "mail" to send mail out of your PC really does require you to carefully set up sendmail. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
