/etc/aliases was modified thusly: root:  <user>  And then newaliases was
invoked to make the change.

This is an interesting question.  I am using msmtp to receive mail via
smtp.  I did not make any changes to files in /etc/mail.  When I try to
send email directly to root Mutt indicates that the mail was sent but it
just seems to disappear.  Nothing shows up in /var/log/maillog or
anywhere else indicating that the mail was ever sent.
