A followup.  Several of my previously sent messages came back, and they  
had the perhaps useful piece of information:

slocal: missing argument to -user
554 "| /usr/local/mh/lib/slocal -user $USER"... 554 unknown mailer error 1

I've since tried with a change to the .forward substituting my login id  
for $USER, but this doesn't seem to help either.
