Thanks Viktor and Wietse.  This was a strange one.  I finally found the problem 
and it was not with the postfix configuration.  Ypbind failed to start up 
correctly.  I don’t quite understand how that could happen, but by restarting 
it, mail started flowing in correctly.  All of the user id’s and passwords are 
found via YP.
