I got popper compiled and successfully installed, but I'm having a little
problem...

Whenever I try using it, I get the following message:

[otaku@otaku.users.netset.com]% telnet localhost pop3
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.netset.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version 2.3) at otaku.users.netset.com starting.
user otaku
+OK Password required for otaku.
pass mypasshere
-ERR System error, can't open temporary file, do you own it?
+OK Pop server at otaku.users.netset.com signing off.
Connection closed by foreign host.

What could be causing this? WHere is the temp file at? I tried making
/usr/spool/mail...but that didn't help the problem. I went through all the
documentation that came with popper, to no avail...

I really must get this fixed...if anyone knows the answer out there, I'll
be very happy to hear it :)

Thanks,

Josh
