OK, sorry about that - everyone please STOP sending replies!!!! The problem
lies with UUNET not peeling off the "tygra.ddmi.com" before it sends the    
message to tygra. I tried to get the UUNET postmaster to fix it but he
doesn't seem to be able to do it. Problem is that the brain-dead mailer
that comes with SCO Xenix 2.3.2 (what mailer??) has no way of specifying:
 
 "If you see tygra.ddmi.com!user or tygra!user, then that just means
  the local user "user""
