Hi Bill et al.
Thanks for those logging tips!
I should point out that this user is successfully receiving many mails
every day - and there are just a troublesome 6. All of which are to
these 2 users: someone and otherone - we have about 120 other active
users, with no such errors.
Test messages to 'someone' which get redirected to 'otherone' (his PA)
always get delivered; and test messages to 'otherone' always seem to
work - regardless of the ownership on that
'/usr/lists/Users/away/otherone' file.
Thanks again
Merlin
