I have tried about every combination of .forward lines that anyone has 
suggested with all of them working / not working about the same.
It seem from doing some reading that the actual error statement I am 
getting is generated from sendmail. I added a few more details and put
it on the sendmail list. 

What is queer, is that I can send from root to david locally, but
not from david to david, or david to root. So it is a permission thing,
as sendmail suggests, but where that problem exists is a mystery as yet.

Thanks for the input.
