I was rereading man dovecot-lda and specifically the option "-d username". 
it said that it is used typically with virutal users, but not necessarily 
with system users.  I am doing system users; therefore I removed it from the 
sendmail feature, but then I get the following error in maillog:

Jan  1 10:28:39 nala sendmail[23041]: r01GScR4023040: smtpquit: mailer local 
exited with exit value 64

I googled, but did not find what value 64 meant.  Anyone have a list or a 
clue what this error means?

Thanks,
Steve
