What seems to be the problem is that maildrop is complaining that /var/mail which is the mail users home directory is world writable. I set up an alias ... (and ran makealiases) which should, I thought, have caused all the mail users e-mail to be delivered to me but that didn't solve the problem.

Alias expansion happens before messages are injected into the queue, not afterward. An alias won't affect messages that have already been accepted.
