I found a few hundred of the following errors in my syslog following some configuration changes:

warning: maildir access problem for UID/GID=5000/5000: 
create maildir file /home/vmail/domain/account1
/tmp/1273028517.P14666.domain.com: Permission denied

I made a temporary fix for now (the ole' standby, chmod 777), but I would like to know if this is a permanent error (lost mail) or if these are retried/requeued.

Thanks!
