There is a permissions problem here:

It should look:
-rw-r--r--  1 cruel      mail      0 Dec 29 12:40 cruel
-rw-r--r--  1 maint      mail      0 Dec 29 12:40 maint
-rw-r--r--  1 mrdida     mail      0 Dec 29 12:40 mrdida
-rw-r--r--  1 root       mail  52445 Dec 28 22:32 root
-rw-r--r--  1 testemail  mail      0 Dec 29 12:40 testemail

fix:
$ cd /var/mail && rm -f cruel maint mrdida testemail
