Not yet.  I will today.  While doing some checking I realized there were 
what looked like two copies of the same mail directory structure -- one 
in /var/mail/vhosts and the otehr in /var/spool/mail/vhosts.  That could 
be creating the problem.  :-)

This is interesting as I as I copied the config and data (message) files 
from the system that was working before the crash.

Thanks for the pointers.  I'll do some more research, testing, and 
debugging.
