--- Comment #6 from Adam Williamson <awill...@redhat.com> ---
mail is a system user. /var/spool/mail has been kinda the traditional location
for mail drops on Linux since, well, ever, so far as I remember. it's in the
FHS.
mail is actually one of the *very* few system users considered so core that
it's right in the copy of /etc/passwd shipped with the 'setup' package:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/setup.git/tree/passwd
mail:*:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:/sbin/nologin
I just checked and that same line is present in the setup package from FC2:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/2/x86_64/os/SRPMS/setup-2.5.33-1.src.rpm
(I'd check FC1, but large chunks of FC1 seem to be missing). So, uh, you're
probably not going to have a lot of luck arguing that that should be changed,
is what I'm saying. :)
