Summary: `ME' in `sys' works just fine for me ...

I use `ME' in my `sys' file here at my site, and it works just fine.
All locally posted articles get sent out properly (it's even easy to
watch, one mail link I have I only send locally posted articles to),
and having `ME' solves the problem of posting from another machine
in your hidden local net (which didn't work when you had to specify
your news gateway machine explicitly in the sys file).

I'd look at your code; I could easily see a symbiotic link (no, not
symbolic!!) between the interpretation of MYDOMAIN by the News software,
and the workability of `ME' ...
