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:
