fetchmail was complaining that procmail cannot create /var/mail/me
while fetching mail. The permission on /var/mail/ directory was set to
-

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Aug 19 12:16 /var/mail/

I changed it to -

drwxrwxr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Aug 19 12:16 /var/mail/

It's working fine now since user "me" is in wheel group.

Do I need to make /var/mail world-writable to get mail for other
users? Is there any other way of doing this - fetching mail in
/home/username?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
