Each user who wants to receive mail needs to run 'mail -c'. This
could be done in /sys/lib/newuser, though it isn't in the stock one.
I suspect that it's a rewrite problem. Try
mail '-dd#' newsham
and see if the problem becomes obvious. `Invalid address' usually
means that upas fell off the end of your rewrite file without a match.
You ought to have a line like this to deliver local mail:
# local mail
local!([^!]+) >> /mail/box/\1/mbox
Order matters, so be careful. If in doubt, look at
/mail/lib/rewrite.* as examples.
