Jon Reeves had the correct solution, he asked:
|>What happens if you change your user name from haymanR to haymanr?
After changing my username from haymanR to haymanr in all pertinent places
(/etc/passwd, /etc/group, tcb database, /var/adm/sendmail/aliases, moving
to new $HOME, etc...) I now get mail addressed to me as I should.
Thanks to all who responded, and helped.
