Walter, you gotta come part-way to meet me here. I need to see to output
of the configuration that we are building - the one that's failing, not
the one that is working. I'm testing things out on my machine as we go 
and it's all working fine, so if something is not working for you, 
you've got to say "this isn't working" and show me some output if you can.

Yes, as I suggested earlier, you should compare the /etc/mail/submit.mc
files on mankind with those on splendor. 

The submit.mc on splendor could very well hold the answer that you are
looking for. I hadn't really thought about it, but there's probably no
reason that you couldn't remap the hostname part through that. This
would eliminate that .mailrc kludge that I mentioned before. Post that
configuration here if you can.
