Set "user" or "group" (or both, and optionally including "mode") on the
Transport which handles delivery to /var/mail.
For instance, I have this (which is mostly unused, I keep it around
anyway):
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
file = /var/mail/$local_part
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode = 0620
no_mode_fail_narrower
In this, I have a mail-spool directory:
drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 512 Jul 20 2009 /var/mail
and then individual users have mail-spool files owned by them, in group
mail, mode 0620. Tools such as mutt_dotlock are setgid mail.
This sounds like what you want?
