/var/spool/mail should be mode 3775 and owned by root.mail. nmh's inc
program should be group mail set-gid and compiled with MAILGROUP defined.
slocal should not be set-gid mail because it was not written to be
set-gid. Users who use slocal have to use an alternate mail drop
somewhere that they have write permission to.
