Michael, list

thanks for the replies. Looks like these errors were artifacts left over from the cmuImport routine.

the mbox's had the old servers uid/gid for the symbolic link.  Removing and letting the mta (?) recreate eliminated the errors.

[root at cbq web]# ls -la /var/spool/|grep mqueue
drwxrwx---  2 smmsp  smmsp  4096 Jun 19 19:30 clientmqueue
drwx------  2 root   mail   4096 Jun 19 20:19 mqueue

Permissions should not be the issue.

Check the following:

1.) With "df -h" check that you have enough free diskspace for /var.

2.) Check if your /etc/procmailrc has the following two lines in it:

ORGMAIL=$HOME/mbox
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL

3.) Check if the recipient of the email has the correct UID, GID and 
permissions on both his home directory AND the file mbox - which is located in 
his home directory.

Typically the "can't create output" message is generated if the mbox has the 
wrong UID, GID or is not writeable.

However, the message "can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied" 
seems to indicate that this source of the problem is one level up and prior to 
the local delivery to the actual mailbox.

With best regards
