Consistent with my observation that messages from root are accepted
into the queue but not sent to the smarthost.

HYPOTHESIZED CONCLUSION
I should refrain from attempting to send messages as root. Should
submit as ordinary user. Correct?

Can the limitation be circumvented without sacrificing security?

AIR the user acts as root in Puppy Linux. How is email submitted
there?

Thx,               ... P.
