[9fans] local mail question

[Tim Newsham <newsham@lava.net>]

The wiki discusses how to configure plan9 to send and receive
mail outside the system.  I am interested in sending mail locally
on the system.  When I use the acme mail client to mail myself
or to mail glenda I get errors:

   Mail from 'newsham'
   to 'newsham'
   failed with error 'Invalid address'.

   saved in /mail/box/newsham/dead.letter

I followed the wiki's directions for creating mailboxes.  I noticed
that this creates files with slightly different permissions than
the glenda box:

  term% ls -l . newsham glenda
  d-rwxrwxr-x M 9 glenda  glenda 0 May 22  2002 ./glenda
  d-rwxrwxr-x M 9 newsham upas   0 Jul 31 16:05 ./newsham
  -lrw-rw-rw- M 9 newsham upas   0 Sep 25  2002 newsham/L.mbox
  --rw-rw---- M 9 newsham upas 167 Jul 31 16:07 newsham/dead.letter
  alrw--w--w- M 9 newsham upas   0 Sep 25  2002 newsham/mbox
  -lrw-rw-rw- M 9 glenda  glenda     0 Apr 13  2002 glenda/L.mbox
  a-rw-rw--w- M 9 glenda  glenda 10699 Apr 22  2002 glenda/mbox

Which is right?  What needs to be done to allow sending to local
boxes?
