Responded, correctly, that the problem was incorrect mode/ownership of
the /var/spool/mail directory. They should be:

drwxrwxrwt 2 root staff 1024 Feb 20 13:05 /var/spool/mail

Thanks again.

Martin Marietta Energy Systems    all the money they need and the Air Force
Workstation Support               has to hold a bake sale to buy a new bomber.
