If copies are being left on your server, check /etc/aliases for that user (cat
/etc/aliases | grep username) and make sure the user's email isn't being forwarded
back to the user.  If it is the line will look like:
username: me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, username

If that's the problem, fix it and then run newaliases so it takes effect.  I think
the RaQs also let a user setup forwarding by creating a .forward file in their user
directory so check there also.
