LogWatch keeps sending this error each day.

Mailbox vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection: 258 Time(s)

Doing a bit of reading, it seems that this error is in fact asking for permissions which are not acceptable. But it all depends on what you read.

So, who's right... the RedHat(WhiteBox) default install or the LogWatch statement?
