I think I might have cocked up that last message,try this:

$ ls -l /var/spool/
total 6
drwxr-xr-x   5 root     root         1024 Jul 25 21:21 cron
drwxr-x---   5 mail     mail         1024 Sep 19 19:41 exim
drwxrwx---   2 root     dialout      1024 May  2  1998 fax
drwxrwsr-x   3 lp       lp           1024 Jul 25 21:22 lpd
drwxrwsr-x   2 root     mail         1024 Oct 23 12:16 mail
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Feb 13  1999 rwho

Like I said, a bit of a newbie!
