I installed the /usr/bin/mail client, but mail from box4 cannot be delivered
to squeak-dev at lists.squeakfoundation.org because:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  squeak-dev at lists.squeakfoundation.org
    Mailing to remote domains not supported

So I need some guidance - how should mail be sent to the squeak-dev list
from a /usr/bin/mail mail client on box4.squeak.org?

The cron job is not yet installed, and I will not make any further changes
for now.

Thanks,
Dave
