/mail/tmp needs to be world-writable and setting the temp bit would be
a good idea too:

	chmod +trwx /mail/tmp

It isn't this way on sources to avoid having world-writable files in
the distribution.

The error messages about attachments that Ron saw are misleading, but
vf is being conservative and defaulting to not letting mail through
when something goes wrong.  Note too that the first error message
was right on the money:

	error+ failed with error 'error creating temporary file: '/tmp/vf.00000037245' permission denied

Since errors tend to cascade, it's usually best to fix the first
problem reported and try again.
