It's unreasonable to change a working system from /var/spool/mail to
/var/mail. I suggest if /var/mail does not exist, create a symlink for
it pointing at /var/spool/mail. OTOH, I would suggest NEW installations
use /var/mail with /var/spool/mail being a symlink.
Least surprise on upgrade, best results on new installation.
