Again, My apologies to everyone. I believe that the error is exactly as Mr. 
Bressler had guessed: I had messed up my /etc/aliases file. I am trying to get 
sendmail to nicely deliver my mail to me, cbooth, on my FreeBSD 2.2.2 box, 
which I want to call Penelope (that is, I want that to be my local hostname), 
but Penelope should not be part of my address--that should be 
cbooth@onyx.interactive.net, no Penelopes please.

As John Cleese as Lancelot said: "Sorry; sorry...."
