The POP drop used by poppper for this user has someone elses permissions.
Check your POP_DROP (constant defined in popper.h) to see if a popdrop
exists for this user. On my system, this is set to /var/tmp.
If the pop drop has another users permissions, just delete the drop file.
popper will re-create it as necessary.
The most likely cause of this problem is you deleted, then re-created this
user's account. When they were re-created, the permissions on the drop
file were set to the users old uid. They were now locked out.
