the MKDIR(/VAR/WWW/MAIL) is coming from. Mailboxes are in /var/mail

mail_location is still setup to be MAIL_LOCATION =
MBOX:~/MAIL:INBOX=/VAR/MAIL/%UEverything else is in ~/MAIL (why uppercase?)
Why is it trying a mkdir in /var/www?
Because most likely /var/www is the home directory of www-data and
you've configured to use $HOME/MAIL as base directory, which is
/var/www/mail

I don't know where the uppercase is coming from. In the email I've
sent its lower case.How can I fix that without changing permissions of /var/www? Where is
$HOME/MAIL configured? Why do I get this error now for the first time,
when there was no change to the system configuration?
Probably someone attempted to send email via a crappy script and it's now trying to deliver to www-data.
first_valid_uid = 1001 last_valid_uid = 1001
also, doveconf -n would be useful.
