The mail looks like it is being sent to /var/spool/postfix/incomming
and  stays there. is it suppose to go to /var/spool/mail? That is where
the pop server seems to be looking. there is mail in the incomming
directory

du -k [root at fs1 incoming]# du -k
4       ./A
12      ./7
36      ./B
4       ./8
8       ./0
0       ./E
