I'm wondering what the heck that "Domain Users" stuff is on yours. Mine is
all owned by the username "gvl2" with group "mail" so the mail server user
can write to it. Writeable by the owner and group only.

I run winbind with auth against my ADS enviroment, all my users are part
of the group, 'Domain Users'

And why are they listed as "x"? /var/spool/mail/{username} should be an
mbox FILE, not a directory.

They are mbox files, they are not directories

Now, on my system /var/spool/mail/{username} is only a "OH SHIT SOMETHING
BROKE!" fallback. My mail server (Exim 3.3x) hands off to procmail and
procmail delivers to ~/Maildir/... in Maildir format. The 448K that's in
/var/spool/mail/gvl2 is a few messages generated by the local system when
it couldn't figure out how to feed it to my Exim mail server (on a
non-standard port).

My mail is ment to be delivered to /var/spool/mail, I use postfix
