but the second message was utterly misleading, and in fact contradicts
the first. I think it should not call refuse() in those cases where
the mail is not being refused, but there is an internal error.

Also, note this:
cpu% ls -ld /mail/tmp
d-rwxrwxrwx M 72110 upas upas 0 Jun  2 16:12 /mail/tmp
cpu%

So, what could be going on here? I'm still puzzled.

Comment from the user: "I think nobody really uses Plan 9 as a mail
relay and that's why we're the only ones who see this". is she wrong?
These errors I hit seem so basic, it's hard to believe nobody else
sees them *assuming other people use plan 9 as a mail relay*. But I am
sure we are not alone. Our setup at mbgokhale.org is that all mail, in
and out, is handled by Plan 9. We've seen problems that are
surprising, to say the least.

thanks
