Greetings,
I just started getting the dreaded Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir error message on a
system that was functioning. I've done all the research I can with no results. Based
on the information I found, I came up with a list of the important points that might
be helpful in solving this. I'm trying to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
vpopmail v4.9.8 on a RH6.2 box

(70 is user alias, 1001 is user vpopmail, 65534 is group nogroup, and 101 is group
vchkpw)
I really have tried to figure this out on my own. If anyone has any suggestions at
all I'd greatly appreciate it.
TIA,
