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.
