Drew, I can't thank you enough!  I did something a little bit
different than what you describe, but your explanation made a few
things *finally* click for me and it's now working like a champ!

I VERY much appreciate all the helpful advice I received in this
thread.  I will carry the info I gained over to the CentOS list so
those folks can benefit as well.

Now on to getting a single instance of Postfix working as per Glenn's
suggestion! :-)

Regards,
Kennedy

PS -- And, to answer your question about local account: yes, I'm using
all local mail accounts on this box.
