This makes sense the pine needs write permission but where is this done at?? Now to add the the confussion a user can send to root but no one can send to a user...? The message appears to send but it never gets returned. The message appear to arrive, a file for the user is created in /var/mail but the user get no new message. In the /var/log/maillog I have simalar entries for every peice of mail sent to a user.
