John and Nico,
I have tried both solutions with negative results. It still does not
recognize uid of local UNIX users.
Set in your transport or router
uid=$local_part
When I add this to either transport or router I get a configure error
saying uid not recognized.
chgrp mail /var/mail/*
chmod g+rw /var/mail/*
This is the current setup of /var/mail on this server and one that does
work.
However the one that does work does not deliver directly to any local UNIX
users.
It is set simply as a Master MTA routing to the UNIX users server or the
Lotus Notes server.

Or:
chgrp mail /var/mail/*
chmod g+rw /var/mail/*
Nico's solution is probably better.
