Hello Mark:
Thanks for the quick reply. Your suggestion works. That is,
sendmail now doesn't die when I try to SMTP a message, but the message
seems to go to that great bitbucket in the sky, because it (the message)
never arrives at the addressee, and all trace of the message's existence
disappears, except the copy left in 'outbox'.
So, I'm still stumped.
