I have tried to reply to mail the Institute of Electronic Systems at Aalborg
University Centre, Denmark several times. I simply hit `r' once inside rmail.
The return path provided by rmail is @iesd.auc.dk (or rather, since
this is the UK, I get @dk.auc.iesd).

The last four or five times the only result of my attempted replies has been
an error message either similar to the one below or one that mentions `EAN
congestion'. I don't even get a copy of my message.

Why, o why does this keep happening ? I have now tried @iesd.uucp as a
last resort. This seems to work, but it is far from ideal. (I also think
@iesd.dk works, judging from an ongoing test).
