Cheryl,

That worked! I always knew you were pretty smart. The source machine is 
indeed a new Debian install on the new computer. The target machine is my 
old Redhat install on an old computer. I want to use that machine to 
receive mail, for backups, etc.

Thanks to everyone who helped in solving this problem, especially to 
Janina.

John
