<div>I hate having to send e-mails like the one I'm typing right here, but here goes: I'm a nincompoop. Somehow -- and I have no idea how -- /tmp got owned by user 524 (perhaps a reflection of my uninstalling and re-installing MailScanner), with 700 permissions.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ummmm. Duh. And, yeah, I guess that that explains plenty well why creating a tempfile wasn't working.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions. It's appreciated.</div>
