Thanks, I ran mail from the window I ran upas/fs from and I could read
my mail. However, it does not store a local copy of the messages, it
seems to download them from the server everytime I access my mail
box.. Is there any way to make it download a local copy while leaving
the original message on the server?

I did that, but my messages do not seem to be reaching the recipients.
I will wait and see, but usually my smtp server delivers messages
almost instantly. BTW, I ran 'mail recipient_address' on the command
line and typed in a message. I then hit ESC and CTRL+D. Since I have
used justqmail in my rewrite file, I executed '/mail/lib/kickqueue'.
There was some activity on my modem and I got the prompt back..

Is this the correct way of going about sending mail? Also, my
smtp service requires that the address I am sending from should be an
@gmx.net address. I have added the line : "From: "Apurva Mehta"
<apurva@gmx.net> to my /mail/box/user_name/headers file. Will this
ensure that the 'from' address is as required by the service?
