Thought so. Why was that even offered? I had replaced it previously with the
proper domain so did so again.
Now, if I simply send to a user, the mail will be delivered.
If I simply send to "root," it gets correctly aliased over to
"system_notifications," but then gets returned!
So original problem remains !?!
