Let me restate my comment, then:

installing Postfix just to solve this problem seems like more yak
shaving than I'm interested in right now.

None of the other Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers in my environment
have exhibited this specific problem. I'm loathe to change the MTA on
this one server to deal with this problem. I'm not going to install
Postfix for all of our machines just because one system is behaving
oddly.

If anyone has any advice or suggestions _other than_ "install postfix"
(or "install Exim" or "change your MTA") I would like to hear them.

Thanks,
Scott
