wndrgrl.goldblatt.net greeted my arrival home after a hard day at work a 
couple days ago with the sound of a clicking hard drive.

Recover some stuff as can, replace drive reinstall.  first priorities: bind 
qmail. bind works okay.

I re-downloaded and recompiled qmail.  I was able to recover /var/qmail 
from my old system, so in theory the configuration is still okay.  I picked 
up tcpserver and fixed that up, and I got checkpasswd running, so now I can 
check my email via pop3.  Except I can't receive any mail.

qmail is apparently rejecting mail incoming to the local domain, responding 
with user unknown.  A friend attempted to send a message to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (an account I was careful to make sure existed before 
running this test).  His Sendmail produced the following output:

Sep 21 21:21:11 got sendmail[4972]: VAA04970: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 
ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (0/0), delay=00:00:00, 
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, relay=wndrgrl.goldblatt.net. 
[208.190.130.82], stat=User unknown

I'm not getting anything in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog.

I'm unable to find a useful pointer in the logs, the FAQ, or the 
archives.  Pointers to any or all of these welcome, if applicable.
