GROUP MAILINGS CAUSES ERRORS

Using MERCURY 1.44, with group mailings, we unfortunately get the
following kind of error:

"The local mail transport system has reported the following problems
it encountered while trying to deliver your message:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
   <all@foo.bar.no>
   Group mailing: 202 delivered OK, 2 failures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------"

1) What's wrong? What is "the remedy"?
2) More helpful diagnostics possible?

I *have* tried to send to the Novell groups directly from PMail; this
*does* yield "misses" in the mailings (with the ubiquitous
message

"WinPMail cannot create the container file for your message (the
container file is the file which holds your message until either the
recipient reads it, or a gateway processes it). The most likely causes
for this problem are as follows:
** If you are running in NetWare mode:
1: You may not have rights in SYS:MAIL, or the rights may have been
altered.
2: You may be out of disk quota on the SYS: volume on your file server.
3: There may be a directory restriction on the recipient's mail
directory in SYS:MAIL - this will affect you even if you have plenty of
disk quota available yourself.
4: The system administrator may have set up an alternate new mail
directory structure; doing this disables mail from other servers, and if
an error is made in the configuration, can result in mail not being
deliverable locally either."

However, I do not have any reason to suspect any of the conditions 1-4
to be true; I am running as a "supervisor" right now; with sufficient
rights and disk space.

Well, any ideas :)

Thanks - in advance!

Please (also) mail directly to me in case you reply; I don't wish to
scan all the groups crossmail'ed constantly!
