I recommend using maildir over mbox, but that has nothing to do with your permissions issue. From local(8) : DELIVERY RIGHTS Deliveries to external files and external commands are made with the rights of the receiving user on whose behalf the delivery is made. In the absence of a user context, the local daemon uses the owner rights of the :include: file or alias database. When those files are owned by the superuser, delivery is made with the rights specified with the default_privs configuration parameter. -D -- Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained. --C.S.
