Hello again,
Thanks to all for your help so far. I'm closer now, I think. But
mail reception through SMTP isn't working at all. I was able to
telnet to the server and send a message which doesn't seem to have
appeared anywhere. Then I tried sending a message through normal
means from my system at work. This too seems to have disappeared,
with no bounce.
To back up to an intermediate stage, because I don't have the domain
name set correctly yet, but had forgotten to deal with that in the
configuration, a test message bounced with a Relaying Denied message.
So I added the IP address to the rcpthosts and locals files and sent
another test message. This is the one that has disappeared without a
trace.
I checked the sym-links to /var/spool/mail. They are still present.
I am using mutt, which allows me to look at just about any file on the
system as though it were a mailbox. What else should I check?

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and
any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to
run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.
This is obviously impossible.
