David --
Not sure why you saw the cs.hmc.edu address, but I'd say that Jeremy
will probably be looking into it soon.
So you can't write your mailbox, eh? I saw in your output that your
spool dir was root.root and 0775; I would actually have expected
root.mail instead.
In any case, ls /usr/local/bin/mutt* and let us know if you don't see
approximately this:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root ... /usr/local/bin/mutt*
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail ... /usr/local/bin/mutt_dotlock*
Note that mutt is about as plain as you can get, while mutt_dotlock is
running sgid with a group of mail (as I expected your spool dir to
have). Rather than have the big, complex mutt binary all run with
special permissions just to be able to lock a mail file, the lock code
was broken out into mutt_dotlock, which is a lot easier to maintain
and for wary admins to peruse before giving it privs.
:-D
