It's reassuring to learn that there is Life After Migration :)

I've still not been migrated -- at least I've received no notification 
of migration, and the original 671 byte email is still not budging 
from the punt.

Probably too early to ask, but is there a new POP3 zip available yet?  
And as probably the only person using "smtp queue" and delivering 
locally, will the single "administrator" mailbox suffice?  (Of course 
I'll discover this in due course, but just thought I'd ask as you've 
BTDT with the code changes.)

I think I'll disable all mailkill functionality at migration-time to 
ensure I miss nothing.  I assume the POP3 GremNOS just issues a delete 
for a mailkill match and logs the deletion?  If not I'll try to 
implement something like this when the new source becomes available.

Thanks for all your work on this, Simon.
