Hey, you gotta love ICTS: they define the definition of insanity (while doing good work), by doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result...I refer, of course, to the never-ending and fruitless endeavour that is fixing GroupSTUPID!!!  The latest offering:

Dear UCT staff and students,
 
We require a period of unscheduled maintenance time on the UCT GWIA, a part of the UCT email system that affects IMAP users and the external delivery of mail. 
 
Reason for the maintenance:
Troubleshooting an issue regarding the UCT email Disclaimer.
 
Date & Time:
Intermittent unavailability for the period: Tuesday 16 March, 17h00 - 19h00.
 
Affected services or groups:
Intermittent unavailability for IMAP users and interruptions to external mail delivery.
 
We will post a message to the ICTS website System and Service Announcements pane as soon as the maintenance is complete.
 
Regards,
ICTS Communications

So...outgoing mail will be affected...because of the UCT email disclaimer??  Really??  A simple solution, folks: DON'T USE GROUPSTUPID.  Ah, Gmail, thy virtues are plain to see....  And see here, for an earlier offering on how silly the disclaimer / datclaimer is.

I'm off to read my Gmail.  Which - thanks to ICTS and submarine cables - really works well.
