What did you change? That is not default behaviour. Did you install a
mail client that is not part of FC1?

The default correct permissions are as follows:

$ ls -ld /var/ /var/spool/ /var/spool/mail/ /var/spool/mail/adalloz
drwxr-xr-x  21 root    root    4096 22. Apr 02:44 /var/
drwxr-xr-x  14 root    root    4096 20. Apr 20:13 /var/spool/
drwxrwxr-x   3 root    mail    4096 22. Apr 20:20 /var/spool/mail/
-rw-rw----   1 adalloz mail 5060819 22. Apr 21:26
/var/spool/mail/adalloz
