Permissions should be such that any user can create a file and write to
their own file but nobody can delete anybody else's file. This usually
requires the "sticky bit" to be set; it should normally be identical to
the permissions and ownership on /var/mail and frequently to those on
/tmp.
On this system it shows up in ls as:
"drwxrwxrwt root wheel"
Note the "t" indicating the sticky bit is set.
