Another question from someone who is making great progress towards Qmail installation.

After following the instructions in INSTALL.mbox, I have the following results and 
questions.

===============================================================
root@caesar:/var/spool/mail# ll
total 10
drwxrwxrwt   2 root     mail         1024 Jul 26 11:12 ./
drwxr-xr-x  15 root     root         1024 Mar 12 14:21 ../
-rw-rw----   1 root     mail         7394 Mar 31 21:42 root
root@caesar:/var/spool/mail# ln -s /var/spool/mail/root ~/Mailbox/root
root@caesar:/var/spool/mail# ll ~/Mailbox
total 4
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Aug 29 07:50 ./
drwx--x---  34 root     root         3072 Aug 29 07:42 ../
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           20 Aug 29 07:50 root -> /var/spool/mail/root
root@caesar:/var/spool/mail# 

===============================================================

Why are the file permissions of the source file and the linked file different here?
Is that the way it is supposed to be?

Thank you in advance.
