10.8.5 mail account forwarding to admin somehow

Hi folks.


Got a strange thing happening here. A long term account just went deaf. Logs somewhat (not fully, but that's a postfix issue) display that incoming mail to that account, was going to the admin account. So I created a client account to get all these, and voila, there they all were. I have no clue why this is happening. Checked the Server.app forwarding on that account, and it says "stored locally". Checked the /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/virtual and nothing mentioning any forwards.


Strange. I don't know why it would just do that. Anybody have any advice?


Cheers

Found it. The solution is NOT in the Server.app.


System Preferences -> Users & Groups: My AppleID was shunting all incoming emails to the admin account instead of that target account. This target account was services only, not admin.


Cheers
