/var/spool/mail problem

[someth]

Hi anybody can help me?
I have a running postfix working with mailscanner+spamassassin and clamav on my suse linux professional 9.1. recently my harddisk has only 500Mb space left, so I add new harddisk as /dev/sdb1 which is mounted to /var/spool/mailstores then I change my postfix config mail_spool_directory from /var/spool/mail to /var/spool/mailstores but an error occur when my user try to retrieve his mail, here it is: (server4 popper[14467]: luontean at 202.93.14.170 (202.93.14.170): -ERR [SYS/TEMP] Failed to create /var/mail/.luontean.pop with uid 1266, gid 0. Change permissions. [pop_dropcopy.c:1495]). my /var/mail has a simbolic link to /var/spool/mail

please help

Did you give all users read write permission to the new directory?

Is /var/mail a symbolic link to the now nonexistent (???) /var/spool/mail directory

If so maybe it needs to point to the new directory /var/spool/mailstores

type info ln to get info on the link command and re link the sybolic link to the new directory.

Be sure your permissions are right!
