I've just tested that and all I can say is: I works !
Make shure that the rights have been set as suggested:

ls -la /var | grep mail

drwxrwxrwt   2 root    mail      512  6 Sep 14:50 mail

Btw. read the sticky man page (man 8 sticky) if you wonder
about the 1000 in the rights mask. (At least thats what I did ;)
