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.
