I thought /var/mail was supposed to be mode 1777 on BSD systems??

mail.local was designed to work in that scenario and has specific code to make
sure it's secure.. (granted, the net-2 mail.local may not have been solid, but
the 4.4BSD mail.local has been secure since the encumbered release and later
in the Lite releases)
