The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Debian's /var/spool/mail is
drwxrwsr-x   2 root     mail         1024 Dec  6 11:10 /var/spool/mail/
(no u+w, and no t)

Doing that would probably leave you with the permissions on
/var/spool/mail incorrect.  Making the /var/spool/mail u+w is
certainly a doubtful practice.
