I don't know the thread that preceded this (the mailing list is very
flaky at the moment, reminds me of the niksula situation!)
However, the above is not what a mailspool should look like!
Try this:
$ ls -la /var/mail
total 570
drwxrwxr-t 2 mail mail 1024 Sep 29 10:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 1024 May 13 1994 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 linux mail 278043 Sep 29 07:06 linux
-rw-rw---- 1 net mail 52183 Dec 13 1994 net
-rw-rw---- 1 rob mail 177514 Sep 29 07:06 rob
-rw-rw---- 1 root mail 0 Sep 27 08:18 root
