Interesting. If I comment out the line 216 as below, everything is
hunkydory. Do I need to leave that "group = mail" line in there?
Mostlikely, but what negative things come of it?
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
# Jeff tries to remove this

mode_fail_narrower = false
envelope_to_add = true
return_path_add = true
