I found out why this happens. Under Solaris 2.4, mail is delivered as
group other, which is the primary gid for root. Under Solaris 2.5.1,
mail is delivered as group mail, so you should let the system create
the mailboxes rather than touching them by hand.
I believe that the following comment in
/mit/mkserv/services/8.1/mail.add is therefore wrong:
===> Be sure to create a mailbox in ${SPOOLDIR}
===> for any users that are going to receive mail locally.
