Well I did get it to work by redirecting it and making
an MAIL directory under my home directory. I guess it
was because of permissions that I couldn't check it
before. Now I am attempting to send email but it
doesn't seem to be working locally. Geesh one thing
after another. I am using sendmail to send mail..

Anyway.. Once I get things working better I will try
and open it up and set up LDAP and all that stuff..
