The problem was that mussel's exim config was wrong - I just
fixed it now (qualify_domain was set wrong). Hopefully now
mail sent from mussel won't say "user at mussel.ucc...".

Previous attempts to fix the problem by editing
/etc/postfix/main.cf directory failed....

atimes don't get updated on mussel (this is a problem with
morwong's NFS), so it will report new mail in dirs which
don't have any mail. Or perhaps it's mtimes - I forget. If
you don't notice the problem then it should be fine.
