Bingo! I needed to run smailconfig, which created the /etc/smail/config
file (I had previously done this, but the file wasn't there when I
checked).

After doing the above, I get
[nielsen:nielsen]$ sudo smail -d 30 -bv [EMAIL PROTECTED]
director user matched user nielsen
nielsen ... deliverable
30 ... not deliverable: unknown user
<pause while I check the man page>
That should have been -d30 not -d 30
All is well now. Thanks.
