	Trying raising syslog's logging levl to 9 (ie. LOG_DEBUG) by editing
	/etc/syslog.conf and then either restarting syslog or sending it a
	hangup signal (ie. kill -HUP `cat /etc/syslog.pid`).

	Then send some more mail and take a look in syslog for any messages
	(actually you should probably check to see if there are any messages
	that mail11dv3 may of logged already at level 8).

	The problem could be as simple as /tmp and/or /usr/tmp having the wrong
	permissions set on them.
