I'm just commit to shadow CVS tree remove handle /etc/login.defs::QMAIL_DIR.

I'm not shure but IIRC if $MAIL contain directory path (not file 
patch) it mean mails are stored in maildir format (not in mbox).
If it is correct probably more cleanups can be aplayed in this area (use 
only $MAIL and better documentation for handle maildir/mbox).
