I am seeing this message on incoming emails to one of my users. I cannot find any permission problems in his directory. Where can I look? I need to figure this out ASAP. I've got over 200 message waiting for delivery to this user at the moment. I searched through the archives, but did not find any suggestions other than maildir permissions.
