Absolutely. That is what I decided to do. I changed the mode on the
director to 0600 and it delivers okay. The mode on /var/mail is 1777.
Suresh said " First, chmod 1777 /var/mail, chmod +t /var/mail"
Already 1777 inserted the sticky bit (in FreeBSD that I use but I'll test
with Linux ;-) ) so there is no more need for chmod +t
Thanks a zillion for all who helped me figure this out.
