I got mail.local to work for me. Come to find out that the binary upgrade via CD from 2.2.8 to 3.1 did *not* overwrite /usr/libexec/mail.local! (I verified that by mounting the live file system of CD number 2.) It had the noschg flag set, which might be why it didn't get overwritten. Once I copied it over, it worked fine.
