No, you should be able to type "foo@zub.fi".  To get at the "local" fi
subdomain you should be typing the full host name, which is required for
*ALL* Internet mail, even if zub.fi.cs.cmu.edu is literally right next
to the one you are sending from.  Local names should only be used
locally, that is, on the same machine (and really then only if the
machine is not on any network).
