1. It is trying to connect to host "mail" (which you set as your UUCP
and Name relay -- DNmail and DZmail).

2. It is trying to connect to "mail" via mailer tcplocal.

3. It cannot connect to or resolve the name "mail".

A quick fix might be to change "mail" to the FQN "mail.Choreo.CA" as
you have for your general purpose relay (or change DZmail and DNmail
to DZ$R and DN$R).
