You shouldn't use /var/spool/mail as the mail root anyway. I suppose
you're using only POP3, but if you ever happen to (even accidentally)
enable IMAP access the above configuration may give access to other
users' mails (although I suppose the filesystem permissions will prevent
that if you're using system users).

In any case, I'd suggest something like:

mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u
