smail says "550 You are not permitted to send mail"



Since everyone else is  asking questions that are completely unrelated
to Debian I'll do my bit and ask one that's only slightly related. 

I've got Smail-3.2.0.102 1998-Aug-2 #2 with the default 
(ie empty) config files. Here's the problem:

09:54:21</etc/init.d># ./smail restart
Restarting mail transport agent: smail.
09:54:25</etc/init.d># !tel
telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...

220 ESMTP supported
helo crdva1.bc.wave.home.com
550 You are not permitted to send mail

What gives? The only reason I'm trying to set this up is so that
things like cron jobs will send email to root, as advertised.
