FYI, using a unique group for the mailer, and making mailboxes 660 and
the mail directory 775, and making the mailer setgid is the solution
AT&T SyV has been using since R2 or before. When combined with a
wrapper to open the SMTP socket, it makes for a very much more secure
mail system (so long as no user can be a member of the mail group). The
only damage a cracker can do via the mailer is then limited to mail.
