Opps: Mail sent to non-existent user

 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?
