It means you many not have postmaster configured as a valid alias and thus
error messages (aka DSN's or bounces) cannot be delivered, or perhaps the
local delivery agent (/usr/lib/mail.local) isn't working right-- the stock
Solaris config has that program setgid to mail using the maillock() routines.

Run 'newaliases' and maybe 'echo "hi" | /usr/ucb/mail -v postmaster', then
look at your logfiles.
