Cron and mail problem

My Cron ouput will not mail to me. I have entries in my .forward files for root and me to my email address.
Console is saying:

2002-08-02 23:25:06.050 Mail[520] *** mkstemp(/var/mail/gowrann.lock.tmp.XXXXXX): Permission denied

This dir doesn't seem to exist:

[gowrann:/var/mail] gowrann% ls -la
total 24
drwxrwxr-x 3 root mail 58 Apr 12 00:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root wheel 602 Aug 2 19:52 ..
-rw------- 1 www mail 9655 Apr 12 10:09 www

I am using CommunigatePro instead of sendmail and my root perms are g-w.
