    Hi all,

    Have been using Exim successfully and happily for about a year - the
remote mailserver finally crashed, and since it's just my home domain
and a few friends, no big deal.  However, the server is in Calgary, and
I've since moved to Vancouver, so I'm SOL on fixing it.


    Still need email tho, so I moved the mx record to point to my other box
back in Calgary.  Mail is ARRIVING fine, but not getting to the
appropriate mailbox.  Here's the sample.

    Probably has been asked numerous times, and there's probably an easy
fix, but I'm really swamped at work right now, and don't have time to
spend hunting that fix down.  Any clues for me?


    Cheers,
