This excerpt doesn't show enough configuration:

 . How is your local system called?

 . Does Smail know that nielsen@nielsen.tus.primenet.com should be
   delivered locally?
   Probably not.  Why?
   -> check out /etc/smail/config:hostname
   -> check out /etc/smail/config:more_hostnames
   -> check out /etc/smil/paths

 .  What does smail -d 30 -bv nielsen@nielsen.tus.primenet.com tell?

Regards
