gnu emacs rmail and rs 6000's???

Anyone have any problems with this combination???

The following message appears when invoking  rmail in xemacs on a rs6000.

  movemail: permission denied for temporary file  "/usr/spool/mail/EJCICrx"

The easy solution is to change permissions of /usr/spool/mail.  I
hesitate to do that since the permissions are so different from other
machines, that it might be opening up some sort of security hole.  
Has anyone dealt with this in a sane way?  

We're running 18.56, which is otherwise almost perfect on these
machines.  

Thanks for any info.
