Duh!?! Except, that is, for the one from which I'd migrated and deleted the user; but I hadn't deleted a cronjob run on that user's behalf, which was generating email, which, of course, couldn't be delivered because the user's directory no longer existed. And I hadn't eliminated that user from fetchmail.conf on the original machine, so other senders were getting the error message back too. My apologies for wasting your time with such a stupid oversight! It just goes to show that moving a user from one machine to another is more complicated than it might at first appear.
