I have the new server running okay.
I moved the mail but now when new messages come into
the server, the old mail queue is renamed something
like..
"BOGUS.username.-eeD"
And the log reads..
Jul 19 10:22:12 mail procmail[10021]: Renamed bogus
"/var/spool/mail/username" into
"/var/spool/mail/BOGUS.username.gdeD"
And a new queue is created.

What happened?
Did I forget something?

Thanks,

Stephen
