Hi All,

I got this message when net-mail/mailbase-1.1 was emerged:

* Messages for package net-mail/mailbase-1.1:

 * Your //var/spool/mail/ directory permissions differ from
 *   those which mailbase wants to set it to (03775).
 *   If you did not change them on purpose, consider running:
 * 
 *     chown root:mail //var/spool/mail/
 *     chmod 03775 //var/spool/mail/


Running this chmod changed access rights from:

  drwxrwxr-x  2 root mail 4096 Jan 28 19:57 mail

to a sticky-fied:

  drwxrwsr-t  2 root mail 4096 Jan 28 19:57 mail


Any idea why are the sticky bits for group and others required?
