I apologise for changing the names to protect the innocent but I'm sure you
all know how it goes.
If I send to a legitimate account on the virtual host (all on the old
server) I get this in the log file on the new server (the one receiving all
the mail).....

but I can't seem to find anything in the log file on the old server (the one
that has the user account) regarding the SMTP VRFY, the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now, if I send to an account on the real host but specify the virtual hosts'
domain name (again, all on the old server) I get this - bearing in mind that
if it is working it should reject this message as an unknown user,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which is a virtual host and does not have this
account in it.
In the log file on the new server....

I hope it's not too confusing.
