Hi Everyone, 

  I have a strange problem, where when I get an email which was
originally sent to root, which expands in the /etc/aliases file to my
user account (nkj), procmail is unable to open the file for writing.
However I can receive emails which have been sent directly to the nkj
account. 

  Here is are the relevant log entries in /var/log/maillog:


maillog:Mar 27 06:25:58 srv1 postfix/cleanup[697]: E30DE78006:
message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
maillog:Mar 27 06:25:58 srv1 postfix/qmgr[11986]: E30DE78006: from=<>,
size=2227, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
maillog:Mar 27 06:25:58 srv1 postfix/bounce[1231]: 5BA8778002: sender
non-delivery notification: E30DE78006
maillog:Mar 27 06:25:58 srv1 postfix/local[698]: E30DE78006:
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, orig_to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0.01,
delays=0/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.2.0, status=bounced (can't create user output
file. Command output: procmail: Error while writing to "/var/mail/nkj" )
maillog:Mar 27 06:25:58 srv1 postfix/qmgr[11986]: E30DE78006: removed



  As usual, /var/mail is symlinked to /var/spool/mail and here are the
relevant perms:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# ls -l /var/mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 14 07:37 /var/mail -> spool/mail

[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# ls -l /var/spool/ | grep mail$
drwxrwxrwt  3 root   mail   12288 Mar 27 06:07 mail

[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# ls -l /var/spool/mail/nkj
-rw------- 1 nkj nkj 51200629 Mar 27 06:25 /var/spool/mail/nkj



  It should be noted that /var/spool/mail is a mounted partition, with
quotas enabled, however there are no quotas set on the nkj account:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# mount | grep mail
/dev/sda2 on /var/spool/mail type ext3 (rw,usrquota,grpquota)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# df -h | grep mail
/dev/sda2              30G  283M   28G   1% /var/spool/mail

[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# quota -u nkj
Disk quotas for user nkj (uid 500): none
[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# quota -g nkj
Disk quotas for group nkj (gid 500): none


Any ideas why this is happening? I've been trying to figure this out for
a while now with no luck at all, hoping someone here can point me in the
right direction.

Thanks,
Nick
