nnml "connection" denied

[Pierre-Charles David]

Hi. I can't seem to get nnml working. I'm using Emacs 21.3 with Gnus
5.10.6 from Debian unstable. Here's my ~/.gnus.el:

,----
| (setq gnus-directory (expand-file-name "~/.news") ; Also set in ~/.emacs
|       gnus-dribble-directory (expand-file-name "~/tmp")
|       gnus-agent nil) ; Don't need it; permanent DSL connection.
| 
| (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.wanadoo.fr"))
| (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nntp "news.eclipse.org")))
| 
| (setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/spool/mail/pcdavid")))
| (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
|              '(nnml "" (nnml-directory (expand-file-name "~/mail"))))
| 
| (setq nnmail-split-methods '(("inbox" "")))
`----

As you see from this post, the news servers work, but I can't get my
mail. Outside of Gnus, it works fine: I use fetchmail to get it from
my ISP, and exim4 for local delivery and sending through my ISP's SMTP
server.

In the servers buffer, Gnus tells me that the nnml server status is
"denied". I've read the tutorial and the manual, and I don't see the
difference between what their examples and my setup. What am I doing
wrong?

Thanks in advance.
