Suggest you check /etc/aliases, recipient's .forward and so on, for a use 
of a FILESPEC as destination instead of an address/user.

/etc/aliases was modified thusly: root:  <user>  And then newaliases was
invoked to make the change.
 
Or do you have your MTA configured to use one 'local delivery agent' for 
mail coming in through the SMTP interface, but another program for mail 
from local sources? Try sending a mail directly to root yourself, and see 
where it goes?

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.
