help... no incoming mail!

Can someone please help me figure out why there's no incoming mail?

The machine responds from externally, web server is running, I can send
mail out...

In the messages, for each incoming mail I get the following message:
Aug 18 22:07:03 suhep binmail[722]: Cannot create mail lock file
/usr/spool/mail/USER.lock

I also see some like:
Aug 18 22:10:00 suhep sendmail[929]: AA00927: to=<USER_at_suhep.phy.syr.edu>,
delay=00:00:01, stat=Can't create output

So the machine responds and is reachable in and out, and no disks are full.



Please reply to dkirkpa1_at_twcny.rr.com since I can't get any mail here!
