This is probably the ownership and permissions on the spool directory
(/var/mail). The ownership should be root:mail. Permissions at a minimum
should be 2775 (u+rwx,g+rwxs,o+rx).
Once these are set you should check the ownerships and permissions of
the spool files. Ownership should be ${USER}:mail and permissions should
be 660 (u+rw,g+rw,o-a).
I made the changes, and added the "postfix" user to the "mail" group. It
works OK now.
THANK YOU for your help!
Bill
P.S. Is there a list of "Standard" permissions for a new Ubuntu 14.04
LTS install?
