I figured out what plagued my mailer"

(1) sendmail is in /usr/lib/sendmail, not etc, so no wonder I got a permission
denied message.

(2) The rule that bothered the mailer was rule S6, which rewrote the address to
be local. One of those special local conversions matched (although I can't find
the definition of token $=m, which would allow me to understand better why this
rule wants to match, and where I would ever want it to match). In any case,
commenting the third rule of ruleset 6 did the trick for me. I hope I didn't
break anything else in the process...

I should highly recommend the book "Unix System Administration Handbook,"
written with emphasis on BSD, by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder and Scott Seabass,
Prentice Hall. It definitely is a big help for adminstrating some of the mail
and network stuff.
