Thanks Larry.  Unfortunately, I don't quite understand what you mean by
adding an alias (or I just don't know how to do it).  Right now, the problem
is gone, I went ahead and cleared all the items in the mail queue, but I
would like to know more about this for future reference.

Also, does anyone have an idea why 330 items were waiting to be sent?  Isn't
that abnormally and unhealthily large?

Thanks,
Leo
