Dear all
Have I missed something? I received an email saying a recent post to the
list could not be delivered. The sender was
Mailer-Daemon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

What's happening?
The message was in reply to Simon Robert as follows

He did both. We got a gui for evolution (and firefox) - without the
desktop manager's facility to resize the windows and did a complete
backup. We also did a rsync for the whole of his user folder including
all .files! I haven't heard from him since he left yestreday evening and
he was confident about the remaining options guys in the LUG offered
including reinstalling in at least 3 ways without reformatting when it
was from his Live usb.
I just got a bit paranoid about how password encryption works thinking
it might do it differently if he had to reset the accounts with the same
password. I'll confirm how he got on later.
Thanks again to all who offered ideas - I'll let you know the solution."
Which I did.
