I have looked all over the net to find the answer to this problem.
There are many people who have the problem, and everyone's response is
that there are file/folder permission problems. 
I cannot find any file permission
problems. 

The problem is only sending locally with the program /usr/bin/mail.

Inbound recieving mail is OK.  Procmail even sorts properly.
Sending outgoing mail is OK.
Sending locally with mutt even works.

I have tried to pick at this problem every 6 months or so, each time 
with no result.

Any idea would be helpful.
