This appears to be from a Unix system, so I'll explain it within that
context.
The "cannot append to /usr/spool/mail/robertso" usually means that:
- the mailbox /usr/spool/mail/robertso" has reached its
maximum allowable size, or
- the directory /usr/spool/mail (which usually contains
everyone's mailboxes on a Unix system) has run out of
disk space, or
- the file permissions on the file have been changed, such
that the mailer program does not have write permission.
Which of these is your subscriber suffering? Who knows...
I would wait a day or so, then try again. If you still receive
these errors, drop a note to [log in to unmask]
