Thanks Bob -- that works.  I hadn't picked up from the documentation
that the alias file will only redirect mail to users listed in the
ftpusers file; not wanting anyone to have ftp access to my machine, I'd
removed all entries from ftpusers.

It does seem to be quite a nasty (and possibly non-compliant) effect of
KA9Q's way of handling this that mail can simply disappear, and be neither
delivered nor bounced.  I wonder if Malcom or someone might fix this in a
future release?

Now all I need to do is track down the people whose mail to me disappeared!
