Mail disaster - semi-new system

[G. Armour Van Horn]

A new hint just arrived. One of my many test messages just generated a 
bounce, here's a snip:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
procmail: Couldn't create "/var/mail/vanhorn"
procmail: Error while writing to "/var/log/maillog"
<vanhorn at verbose.twistedhistory.com>... Deferred: local mailer (/usr/bin/procmail) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL


Suddenly I'm wondering what's with "/var/mail/vanhorn" as mail on this 
machine get written to /var/spool/mail as far as I know. There is a 
/var/mail, but it's a link to /var/spool/mail anyway. Privs on 
/var/spool/mail were 755 and owned by root, I just did go+w on it to 
eliminate that possibility, but it doesn't look like it actually changed 
anything.
