I've got some explanation, but no solution..
qmail for local delivery into /var/mail/$user
uses part of sendmail - mail.local (for BSD systems).
As from FreeBSD version 4.2 mail.local is no more
setuid and could not be used directly by user for
local mail delivery. You have to call sendmail for it
which in turn passes message to mail.local.
I believe you use script binm1 or binm1+df for running
qmail. And maybe this part should be rewritten to do
local mail deliveries as root.
