dead.letter for local users

[Toshi Esumi <Toshi Esumi aubeta net>]

Hi,

I just want to set up sending/receiving mail between local users on a RH8.0
machine. I though it was set up to work with default config. I seems to be
wrong. When I send mail one user to another, I get a "dead.letter" like
below. Depending on named running or not, the dead.letter is recived 40sec
after sending or immediately. Looks like it's looking for remote users or
something.

I tried "mail" as well as "sendmail". Both got the same result.

Does anybody have suggestions where to look?
