maildir delivery failed

[Curtis Vaughan]

Been using the same Postfix server for years now, but today, when I created a new user and sent a test letter to that user, I got the following error:


The mail system

<postfix@******.com> (expanded from <security@*****.com>): maildir delivery
failed: create maildir file
/var/spool/postfix/Maildir/tmp/1359572098.P8459.atlantica: Permission
denied

Well, there is no directory /var/spool/postfix/Maildir

I don't understand why it's trying to spool it to there.

"postconf -d | grep spool" yields:

mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix

Any clues?

Ok, I created I new user and everything works. So I'm thinking that I can't have a user named security?
