Set "user" or "group" (or both, and optionally including "mode") on the
Transport which handles delivery to /var/mail.

For instance, I have this (which is mostly unused, I keep it around
anyway):

  local_delivery:
    driver = appendfile
    file = /var/mail/$local_part
    delivery_date_add
    envelope_to_add
    return_path_add
    group = mail
    mode = 0620
    no_mode_fail_narrower

In this, I have a mail-spool directory:
drwxrwxr-x  2 root  mail  512 Jul 20  2009 /var/mail

and then individual users have mail-spool files owned by them, in group
mail, mode 0620.  Tools such as mutt_dotlock are setgid mail.

This sounds like what you want?
