Even with maildrop installed i get an error, no longer the I/O error but, /var/log/maillog

Check that the user with ID 5001, and group with ID 5001, has access to /usr/local/mail/byte@bytemind.dk/. Are you sure your mail user and group are 5001, as that seems a tad high - non-system user IDs normally start at 500, or 1000, depending on your OS.

You can grep /etc/passwd to find the user/group IDs:

cat /etc/passwd|grep <your mail user> <your mail user>:*:<user ID>:<group ID>:Mail Client Access:/home/<your mail user>:/sbin/nologin
