This makes sense the pine needs write permission but where is this done
at??

Now to add the the confussion a user can send to root but no one can send
to a user...?  The message appears to send but it never gets returned.
The message appear to arrive, a file for the user is created in
/var/mail but the user get no new message.  

In the /var/log/maillog I have simalar entries for every peice of mail
sent to a user.
