What were you trying to do?

Use mail.

What's wrong:

I have seen the message "ERR: Maildrop for bjaspan is busy, please try
again in a few minutes" several times in the past few days.  I have
also heard other users are getting this message a lot.  Of course, the
problem always goes away soon, and I am not aware of any lost mail.
But why did it just recently start happening? (or did it just start
happening to me?)
