I'm experiencing the same behaviour on my HP (9000-835SE HP-UX 7.0). My
feeling is that the problem may reside in the local mailer: notice the
command failed.

A glance at smail's sources made me think that comes from the fact that
/bin/lmail did a nonzero exit. I never investigate closely to figure
why because, at least at my site, the command *is* executed (while
smail pretends the opposite).
