Well, I really did it.
Usually, my mail server pops mail from comcast, flushes
the comcast mailbox, and redirects it to an AOL mail
address. I messed with my mail server so it would send all
local mail to a different box on my intranet. Duh. The
pop'ed mail from comcast is considered local mail until
it gets forwarded.
So, instead of forwarding this mail to AOL, my mail server
sent mail of user helen to a box on my home network where
user helen does not exist. The mail server on this box
accepted the mail, oddly enuf, but this is the error that
appears in the log:
sensible-mda[11330]: User(helen) does not exist
Does anyone know where this mail might be?
