By the way, the problem appears to be solely permissions-based. When I've got normal-looking permissions on /var/mail, postfix gives that error, "cannot create file." Courier-IMAP says, "imapd: chdir javaspot.net/pergesu: No such file or directory" chmod 777 /var/mail and they both work fine. But that's of course not the permissions I want on it.
