For the past few months, the mailing system for our Alpha has been
running quite smoothly, until now.

It seems it that it sends this error message below:

   ----- The following addresses had delivery problems -----
<bonn_at_durian.usc.edu.ph> (unrecoverable error)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
binmail: opening /usr/spool/mail/bonn -: Permission denied
binmail: creating dead.letter -: Permission denied
554 <bonn_at_durian.usc.edu.ph>... Service unavailable


I know that they are permission-based problems, however I have already
checked the permissions and it seem just fine.

My permissions are:

>From / directory:

drwxrwxrwx 30 root system 1024 Sep 6 16:57 usr
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 7 Nov 23 1994 var -> usr/var

>From /usr directory:

What more have I missed?
