I want to apologize right off for having been too quick to consult this list...
The problem is a postfix problem, some details of which escaped me in my confusion. There is no need to describe this in detail, but suffice it to say that some mails got delivered to "new" (those addressed to unix account holders) and some did not (those addressed to aliases for these accounts). My apologies again and thanks for the help offered. Bernard Higonnet On 12/09/14 15:22, Jakob Bohm wrote: > On 09/12/2014 15:11, Bernard T.
