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.

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
What about SELinux. Is it enabled? If so, does the context of your mail spool match that of other mail spools? Does other mail sent directly to you meet the same fate, or only when sent to root and delivered to you?
