Hmm... That would need to be file permissions for the spool, wouldn't
it? Because permissions for the delivery folder shouldn't be checked
until the destination is known, similar to the filter rules.
OK, figured it out. the problem was my /etc/hosts entry for 127.0.0.1
was
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
and when I changed this to point to the correct host/domain all was
fine.
Huh...
