Help!!! - I'm desperate!!  I trying to trace a problem with my mail.  I recently
heard about elm2.2[PL16] and smail2.5.  I downloaded them and have been trying
to get them set up.  btw, thanks to all who have put so much time in making elm
such a first class product.

PROBLEM:  When sending email from inside elm it sends the mail and then a few
	seconds later it sends me the mail.  And here it is.

This is the test from elm.

I don't know what to do.

*****************************************************************************

Now when I use an unknown address it says local user "emory" not found because
emory is my smart-mailer.

&&&&&&&&&&&& Please note
If I use /usr/bin/mail (the old mailer) instead of mail, internet (uucp) addr-
esses do work, but arparent addresses "@" do not.  So with the test of two
addresses....emory!dt >>worked<< and dt@emory.math.edu didn't work

the later gave me the error message..

No local user named "dt@emory.math.edu"
Letter saved in "/u/dt/dead.letter" [New file]  13/191

CAN ANYONE TELL ME...IS THE PROBLEM IN ELM OR SMAIL???  DO YOU KNOW THE
SOLUTION??
Thanks in advance ...

Should I take this problem to the net??
Have a great day!!
