Wrong permissions on the new spool directory?  You did symlink /var/mail to
the new location, yes?  Your POP mail server looks like it's already
configured to use /var/mail for temp files, that's good.

(typically it is easier to mount a new disk as /var/mail than it is to
play games and dink with symlinks).
