OK, thanks for that, Syd!
Now 'mail' works fine from one user to another on the system, but using
'elm', with 'smail3' installed, is giving me other grief.
Any message to a local user, such as "bill", doesn't go to "bill", it gets
queued up for a uucp transfer to my neighbor 'murphy', to be routed to:
"murphy!uunet!jpradley.jpr.com!bill".

'jpradley' is my site name, 'jpr.com' is my registered domain. 'uunet'
doesn't appear in any of my MMDF files except following a '#'.
The 'mailer' in my configuration is the default that Configure suggested,
"/usr/mmdf/bin/submit".
