I tried to reply by mail, but your mailer didn't work :-)

The problem is in your m_defaddr declaration.  My guess is that you used
cfc to generate this line, and cfc has a bug on this point.  The correct
macro to use is:
	m_defaddr = concat ("${m_sreladdr}", ifset (m_sname," (${m_sname})"));

When all else fails, read the manual...

According to one of the N+1 RFCs (where N is well on the way to infinity),
each machine must have a postmaster.  If you have any questions about this,
feel free to drop me a line.
