I just see here something like
/home/spool/mail/admin
/home/spool/mail/f1
/home/spool/mail/mike
/home/spool/mail/ministry

/home/spool/mqueue/q1 
/home/spool/mqueue/q2
/home/spool/mqueue/q3
/home/spool/mqueue/q4

q1 ... q4 are directory and all empty. Permissions rw set
for everybody.

/home/spool/mail/mike is a file permissions set for the
owner (mike)
