Hi Kris.  I posted that note about SSH config.  Well it turns out that I
am now getting my mail with the original SSH settings.  Something
automagical happened but I don't know what.  For me, Qmail was trying to
deliver my mail via defaultdelivery, but it would discard it after a
triple  bounce as it couldn't find my home directory.  So I'm still
investigating this.   Rob.
