After checking $LOGNAME exists in your environment:

Assuming you want Fred's mail to go to /var/mail/fred/fred as well, I'd 
try

ORGMAIL=/var/mail/${LOGNAME}/${LOGNAME}
DEFAULT defaults to ${ORGMAIL} so you wouldn't need to set that I think.

MAILDIR=/var/mail/${LOGNAME}
LOGFILE=/var/mail/${LOGNAME}

So the default location for mail for sandra would be the file 
/var/mail/sandra/sandra


Any recipes with an action line with a different file name, such as 
one of mine

:0 :
* ^FROM_DAEMON
* ^from:.*@(malander|nard|pomander|pomade)\.clifford\.ac
IN.mydaemons

should put that mail into the file IN.mydaemons in the directory pointed 
to by $MAILDIR, which in your system, for sandra, would be the file
/var/mail/sandra/IN.mydaemons
