I seem to have found the answer to my problem. From the man page for 
adduser:

RESTRICTIONS
     username
             It is recommended that login names contain only lowercase 
charac-
             ters and digits.  They may also contain uppercase characters,
             non-leading hyphens, periods, underscores, and a trailing `$'.
             Login names may not be longer than 31 characters.  If you 
need a
             longer login name for e-mail addresses, you can define an alias
             in /etc/mail/aliases.

I had tried deleteing and re-adding LSMBF005 and added LSMBF006. Both 
didn't work.
So I guessed that uppercase could be the problem. Tried lsmbf007 and 
that works fine.
I'll try LSMBF005   lsmbf005 in aliases file to see if that can work. If 
not, I'll just change to lowercase.

I'm also getting read errors and timeouts from other mailservers when 
trying to send mail.
My reverse DNS got added late yesterday. Is this the likely cause? Fails 
to go through godaddy or yahoo mailservers. Should I just wait a little 
longer or look elsewhere?

Thanks
