I am running Pine on a SUN running Solaris 2.4.  The postmaster is 
receiving the following message from the Mail Delivery Subsystem:

mail:	/var/mail/sys
mail:	Cant't open '/tmp/mailAAAa000BS' type: r+
mail: 	Cannot create dead.letter
550 sys... Can't create output

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  Thanks for your help.

Check the file permissions of the directiories that pine is trying to 
write to. Most likely u dont have write permission.
