Ah, thank you. That helped. In case these archives help someone in the
future, here's what hapened: Armed with this information, I took another
run at the logs and there was a problem with the hostname, which was:

.root

Yeah, so I updated the hostname and savemail isn't panicking anymore and
neither am I. :).

Thanks, all!
