Re: [SA SPAM] Error /var/mail/foo

Exactly what it says.

Neomail doesn't have permission to read or write the mail spool file 
/var/mail/foo

Check which user/group neomail was installed under.
Check which user/group is allowed to read/write /var/mail/foo

Does at least one of them match (probably the group)? If so,
are permissions set to allow read/write access?

Permissions are a basic part of *ix, you need to understand them at 
least partially before you messing about with them as root.

These will hopefully help understand them a bit more:

man chmod
man chown

  Tod.
