HI jason.

Hate to bug you with such simple problems, but I'm confused as to exactly
what I am supposed to do here.  I am looking at the config-pre page...

I put this in my .tmdarc, and the errors stop, but no mail is making it in
to tmda

SENDER="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RECIPIENT="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
EXTENSION="foo"

What does the foo and EXTENSION mean? Should I eliminate these?

You shouldn't be hard-coding these anywhere. They should be set by your MTA (That is "Mail Transfer Agent", like sendmail, postfix, exim, or qmail):


- SENDER should be set to the actual envelope sender given to your MTA by the sender of the message. If you know the SMTP protocol, this would be the string immediately after the "MAIL FROM" smtp command

- RECIPIENT should be set to the actual envelope recipient given to your MTA by the sender of the message. This is the string immediately after the "RCPT TO" smtp command.

- EXTENSION should be set to the part of the RECIPENT after the user-name and the following recipient delimiter. For example, if your MTA uses "-" as the recipient delimiter, and RECIPIENT is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and the username receiving the email is "user", then EXTENSION should be set to "a-b-c".

Which MTA are you using? There are specific setup instructions for each of the "working" MTAs on the config-pre page to cause them to set these environment variables properly.
