Thank you Slavek,

  There is something funny, because I got somebody's test mail to that
account, e.g.:

<quote with .. added>

m..-trinity@...

Don't see a problem.  Hmmm.

</quote>

That message came through fine.

WAIT!!!!!

I know what it is!!!

# iptables -nvL --line-numbers
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 3651K packets, 548M bytes)
num   pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
destination
11    3074  182K DROP       all  --  *      *       37.0.0.0/8           0.0.0.0/0

Why on earth is the IP from RIPE? The IP for mail.trinitydesktop.net is
37.205.10.16. The 37 IP block is the top 3 offending block. 182K of
script-kiddie attempts since last boot alone.

I've opened a hole in my firewall for 37.205.10.16  Let's see if the confirm
mail comes through now.

(that explains why I saw nothing in my logs -- it wasn't allowed to get there...)
