Subject: Installed Qmail -- "mailbox vulnerable"?

I just installed QMail on my system to replace sendmail.  For some reason, 
whenever I'm logged in as my user account and start up PINE, I get the message:

[Mailbox vulnerable - directory /var/mail must have 1777 protection]

I've setup qmail to use /home/$/mail/inbox instead of /var/mail/$.  I'm not 
sure why pine is complaining about permissions on /var/mail when it should 
even be looking at that anymore.  if do an `echo $MAIL`, i get the 
appropriate response (/home/<my_user_id>/mail/inbox).

Any ideas?
