Sorry to keep bugging you guys with the questions...

I'm having another email issue, this time on a fresh install of 
Mandrake 10 on an older Dell box. Every now and then, certan emails 
don't get through to me. I can't tell why, or what causes it, but 
certain emails bounce, and the bounce message read:

<jnet at localhost.tumaz.com>: can't create user output file. Command 
output:
     procmail: Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/jnet"
Reporting-MTA: dns; mail.tumaz.com
Arrival-Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2004 17:59:34 -0400 (EDT)

Final-Recipient: rfc822; jnet at localhost.tumaz.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; can't create user output file. Command 
output:
     procmail: Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/jnet"


jnet is my user, /var/spool/mail/jnet exists and is writable. I have 
not been able to find any sort of errors in /var/log/mail.info nor 
/var/log.messages... I don't know what's causing procmail to fail... 
anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Josh
