SYMPTOMS
When a user sends mail to SMTP recipients, the mail is returned almost immediately with an error:

The following recipients could not be reached...



CAUSE
The postoffice was installed on a PC/NFS volume on a UNIX server. The permissions for the postoffice files may not be set to 7/7/7, which means read/write/execute for owner/group/world.



RESOLUTION
Ensure that all postoffice files--in particular, the SMTP gateway mailbag file--are set to 7/7/7.
