Those files did not exist. =20
I couldn't find anything about the format of those files, so...
I touched them, and added larry.howse.homeunix.net to local-host-names,
and howse.homeunix.net to relay-domains.
Then I rebooted, and sent an email from root to charles (on larry).
Then I checked charles' mail - no mail
