I think it may depend on what MTA you are running. With Postfix, local 
delivery is done by a process that runs as the user who is the recipient of 
the mail. Thus, the spool directory (/var/spool/mail) must have permissions 
1777 in order for local delivery to work properly. Once this is set, you 
should simply be able to delete the file: /var/spool/mail/quarantine.lock 
and everything should work.

If you are not using Postfix, ignore the above advice and see what others say.
