	No can do.  The really odd thing here is that there is no
	transfer of mail.  The initial poll to the recipient
	server, which says there's mail for Harry, gets a message
	back from the server say that Harry's not allowed to get mail.
	I don't get the normal "failed delivery" message, but a pane
	that says we cannot even send anything to the server because
	the account is disabled.  This is weird because if the account
	was missing, the message would actually make it to the
	inbound server, which would then choke on it as undeliverable
	and send it back to the outbound server with a prepended
	barf tag on it, saying you got the wrong guy.  This one
	never leaves my box, which is very odd.  It would seem to 
	indicate that there is something unusual in the setup on
	Harry's side.  
	
	I will write a note to the postmaster and support at his ISP
	and let them know.
